Coldest Night in NorthEast tonight since last March - What brand wood pellets will you use?

8F

New Earth - medium setting and 80F inside, will turn it down to low for tonight.

We are in the middle of a warm spell, apparently there is another front coming through at the end of the week.

22 degrees this a.m. on Cape. I am burning Barefoots. ( I like the heat and hate to be cold!)

It was 21 degrees outside when I woke up this morning. Inside was 76 degrees with the stove running on setting 3. I had to turn it down to 2 because the barefoots burn super hot. To get the same heat out of the stove chow I would have had to been burning on 4 or 5.

I just switched to my Okies over the weekend. Still have about 15 bags of NEWP left, but will save those for March.

Going down to the teens tonight. The Green Supremes didn't cut it last night and the gas came on twice overnight. Setting 3 of 5. Throwing in some Spruce Pointes tonight to see if there is much of a differance

Just threw in a bag of Vermonts, what a difference in heat. I forgot how good they are since I haven't burned them since last year and have some more experience burning now.

Hello

Well another cold night here with a Low of 22 Degrees!! The Geneva Pellets work well they are the more refined Maine's Choice Wood pellets.

Last night I had 2 bags of Clean Fire Pacific Blend in the hopper and wow! Very low ash and a nice clean fire!! Heat is very good too!

I would say they are one of the best pellets for sure

About 18 last night and I'm burning Cleanfires Pacific
70 degrees in the house. :cheese:

So far I am loving them. I do have the batch with the plastic bits in some of the pellets but they still have little ash and high heat. We are burning them in our Mt. Vernon and Harman PB105. The PB105 loves them we had to turn the feed down from 4 to 1.5 and the auger no longer makes crunching sounds. We have sold 38 tons and so far most say that they want to Eden next year but they also report that the bags are still a bit dusty.

LMFAO
OK, I have seen this Meineilly guy posting here fairly regularly and has always been reasonably objective regardless of the fact that he has a business interest in selling his products. For that, he has earned my respect, so I shall go easy on him here. But, to be willing to "overlook" random plastic in your pellets because they burn hot??? That's kinda laughable. But, Mr. Meinelly, you are also a great asset to this community and seem to be an honest, hardworking businessman, so I will not berate you in my childish sophmoric way that I usually attack those that do not think the exact same way that I do. %-P
I hope that Santa is able to bring you some plastic-free pellets for Christmas this year. Rumor has it that they do exist!

Switched from MWP to Blazers.....They are awesome. With the MWP i could only go 5 or 6 bags without stopping to clean. So far I am on bag 8 and there is hardly any ash. Its going to be a hard decision come spring whether or not to buy more of these....And best of all.....no plastic ;-)

Still burning Premier Pellets "Appalachian Hardwood" with good heat. Will move up the food chain as temps drop.

the forecast calls for 2 degrees here saturday night. (updated now to between -6 to -2)
this will be the first real test imo of my stove since i got it the end of october.

weird warm winter here so far though. snow on halloween and tonight it's 42 or 44 degrees out.

Only have one brand, do have some HHO left over from last year.

Yup same here. Kind of looking forward to it being cold so I can see how it does.

BRING IT ON MOTHER NATURE! ...then.. uhh.. warm up immediately plz?

Nah, bring on some more of that good ole global warming!

Hello

Well it will be a very cold weekend here in NH. See 5 Day Forecast pic below!!

Lows in the teens next three nights!!

Well I am a bit crazy as most other pellet dealers will say in the area. My father and I are burning the Eden we had with plastic for three reasons they are hot, we are ok with the plastic as we have not seen any stove issues yet, and we would rather not have customers burning plastic so we took almost all 22 tons into our homes. The new batch we had is so far plastic free! We are seeing some orange and blue plastic in the NEWP once and a while also oddly. 15 here tonight and Eden is in the stove plastic and all. Also we have Cubex and NEWP in stock still going to burn the plastic Eden.

I'm back to Energex this year. I finished off the last of the MWP about a month ago. Glad to see them gone. The MWP pellets may have been cheaper then the Energex but they produce a lot of ash. We also almost had a hopper fire last year (while burning MWP) when pellets started backing up in the feeding tube. The vertical vent out to the house was completely blocked. This never happened with the Energex with my regular cleaning schedule. On the flip side, the Energex also burn much warmer!

Woke up to 21º outside at 5AM, 71º downstairs and 69º upstairs, inside. Burned Premier Pellets "Appalachian Hardwood" all night with the stove set on room temp 73ish (still working on the best location for the sensor), fan just past medium. So far so good and not a drop of oil burned for heat.

14 deg f here this morning. Knew it was going to be a coldish one so it was the first time we left the p61 on overnight. Burning Greene teams and woke up to an average temp of 69 inside a 2200 sf house. Plenty warm for me as I like it cooler than most people but I am very happy with how the stove did on the first "test."

Edit: forgot to include settings.... ran in stove temp 1 and dist blower on lowest setting. (Guess that means that on the lowest heat output that my stove will keep the house very comfortable on a 14 deg night) Used probably half a bag.

Hello

17.8 Degrees F here at 8:00 AM !! Over night low was 17.4 Deg F

Basement temp in 2,000 sqft split above pellet stove is 80 Deg F with stove on heat setting 3 (3.22 lbs per hour) of 6!!

So I used approx 1 bag of wood pellets over night at $3.97 per bag. Not bad.

Living room and kitchen above is 70 Deg F

Bedrooms are a comfortable 67 Deg F

Nice Summer Heat!! Just using some Maine's Choice Wood Pellets.

21 in Connecticut at 8am. Was burning Stove Chows. Switched to a bag of Hamer Hot Ones... boy what a difference in heat output!

Go UCONN!

Woke up to 18 degrees outside. Burned green supremes
last night but dumped in a bag of Okanagan at 8 am.

How many lbs per hour was your stove set to?
