Having burned a ton of NEWPs this winter and finding them not too bad, I picked up a few bags of GSs at the local TS just for kicks - they had tons and tons. Tried them out last night and could hardly get them to do anything - big disappointment. They just sat there in the pot struggling to burn like they were treated with fire retardant or something! So I'm mixing them 50/50 with Vermonts, basically using the Vermonts to burn the GSs, haha... Surprised they seemed so much worse than the branded NEWPs from earlier in the season - different run, I guess. I'm assuming they came from the local Jaffery plant like the ton I burned, and not from NY, but no way of knowing that.
