I sent a note to my dealer and gave them all the info on the "New" M55 convection blower. They seemed interested in checking it out...I hope to hear from them today. In the mean time I switched from the Vermont Softwoods to the LG softwoods. The Lg's have a slightly lower BTU and a bit more ash, BUT....my glass stays almost perfectly clean after 48 hours and then developes a light see through tan haze. I can't believe how long the glass stays 100% viewable compared to the VT pellets...and they are both softwood....confused but happy. After today, I will have officially burned my 1st ton! baby oink oink
