    That's the key right there. A lot of people don't like MWP, I do. The Cubex to me weren't any better and not worth the money.

    Most places sell Cubex for a lot more than that. If you can buy them for that price, most people will tell you to buy all that are available.

    Haven't had a chance. Next cold spell I plan on doing it. I just burned a half a ton of GT's so I need to reacqaint myself to normal ash levels first.

    I've heard the GT's have very low ash. Lowes wanted 270 a ton I opted for the GS @ 209, no complaints good heat ash isn't to bad.

    GT's are known as a pretty hot pellet with higher as levels.

    Funny you say that, the people at Lowes were bragging about how low the ash levels were. Sales pitch I guess. Never trust a salesman.

    Put it this way, in Dec. 2011 the price of GT's was $209 at Lowes. Then they introduced the GT Platinum's and the price went up to $274. The only thing that changed was the bag. The pellets were the same. GT's, GT Platinum and Green Gold are all the same pellet. Some Lowe's in the CT-NY area still sell them for $209ish. Most are $260+. A lot of people on this forum are boycotting them. But they are high ash. I will say, the one's I just burned I bought in 2010. Some maybe they've gotten better?

    I tried a couple bags last year from a friend. They were pretty good. I bought a ton this year to use for when it's super cold out.

    I had to increase the air flow on my insert slightly, otherwise I would have some ash build up around the burn pot. They've been burning pretty well.

    Agreed. Lots of heavy ash & clinkers.

    oh. And never listen to what the guys say at Lowe's or HD - the guy giving you pellet opinions is the same guy that works in Lawn & Garden, and Flooring, and checkout, and Electrical...
