Curran Renewable Energy?

[deprayb]

Anyone ever heard of these? They are out of Massena, NY up on the St. Lawrence River bordering Canada. They manufacture Super Premium Softwood Pellets, and Premium Hardwood and Premium Hardwood / Softwood Blend Pellets. Never heard anything about them just wondering if anywhere here has? The labtest do not look too bad.

We've sold their blend. It was a decent pellet, decent heat and a little more ash than I would like. We switched to their softwood pellet and have had much better results. More heat, very little ash.

Brain,

I burned the Hardwoods in my test. Not bad, seemed to be a decent burning pellet anyway.

If you do get some softwoods to try? Please get 2 extra bags so I can add to this seasons testing thread.

I installed a new stove a month ago and bought a ton of Curran hardwood pellets because I live 25 miles from their plant. I then read several bad reviews on this site. I tried the logic-e pellets and they are much cleaner and hotter burning in my stove. Curran is a fairly new company and hopefully will improve their product in the future as I prefer to support local businesses.

I reported informally on Currans in 2009 at http://forum.iburncorn.com/viewtopic.php?t=11422&highlight=curran . They seemed OK at the start, but the pellets were very long; up to 1.5". They caused fines to accumulate under the feedwheel of my augerless Bixby stove. This causes an airleak at the feedwheel gasket, which messes up the burn. That was my only gripe about them, but it was a showstopper for me.
