I'm assuming I'll observe the difference between pellets once I start burning in the new stove (tomorrow). But in the meantime, I have to get some to start with. Is Cleanfire a decent brand? I don't even know were to begin.
 
I tried to help the new to pellet burners with some test sampling. They may not burn exactly like they did for me in your stove But you can get a feel for whats out there.

The first thing is now that we are in the cold season. Is the good pellet throws more heat at you. They let you keep the stove in the medium heat settings and save a bit of wear on your stove too! Running the stove flat out with a pellet that throws less heat is tough on the stove if done in long periods.

Take a look at some of the pellets I tried. Hope you get something useful from them.
