Ok, buy a few bags, and see how they work out. I bought two tons before I had my stove installed (rookie mistake) and I hate them. Barely a shoulder pellet in my 10-cpm. Had the stove at 8-9 yesterday...it was 40 degrees. Not too much ash, but not much heat either, not to mention they've plugged my stove twice now. Had a few wet bags too. I'm actually in the process of returning mine to Lowes. It's totally worth my time to dig them out of the back of the shed and exchange them...and I paid 175/ton too. I hate them that much. The only pellet that was worse was the Freedom fuel, but I think those just fed slow because they were so big.
Confluence Energy makes them. They also make the Platinum Fire I have in the stove right now.
My only complaint is they are a chipped log pellet and tend to be somewhat gritty/coarse in texture, So they don't slide well in the hopper. Heat was fair and ash/fines were low. I buy them for shoulders at the right price. But I'm not as picky as others and neither is my stove. But they are worth a try IMHO.
