Broke open a ton of Hamer's last night, from 3 ton I bought back in October of 2009. Let me just say, they are crazy hot. I dug this ton out from behind my stash since it was to get cold for a while at nights. I said to my wife today, these things almost scare me for how hot they are. These are definitly the hottest pellets I have ever had. While cleaning a half ton of them today, they actually had a stink bug nest, down inside the ton of them. They didn't infest into any of the bags, they just had a nice nest down in there. There was probally 200 or so. Being cold out in the garage, I did have the garage heated today to clean pellets, but being that cold, they weren't moving to fast. I had time to get the shop vac and suck mostly all of them up. They did stink pretty good though. Suppose to get down in the low teens to single digits tonight. Nice to now that I will be SUPER warm tonight.
