    Unfortunately, Not that bad. Turmans uses a clear bag, as do a few others. The clear bags was so you can see what yer getting. I'd like to get a bag to see what the percentage of fines is! Odd thing is they wanted to bag them locally to reduce the fines. Doesn't seem to be working!.

    Sorry Doug, This just isn't exceptable!

    I think it's more of a bagging followed by grinding plant.

    K here's a hod of Black Hills. The second pic is a hod of Lacretes which are virtually the same color as okies. These pics will give you an idea of the color and differences in the pellets as I mentioned earlier.

    J tell ya buddy to give you a bag. photo113.JPG

    Darker colored pellets are the pine, and then the regular Oakies. Vermonts and MWP Softwood, which are both pine too are darker in color. The grinded pellets at the bottom of the bag, however <>

    heat: WARM

    Holy Batcave Robin

    I had to open the window in the bathroom to take a shower this morning upstairs. Kitchen was 73 with the stove on 3 all nite.

    Today is not a good test because the woman will have the stove running.

    Maybe I'll open all the windows when she leaves and crank the stove see how it runs now ;)

    Virtually no ash. I pulled the tray just now and there was less than a cup of ash for almost 24 hours of running. Not bad.

    Second bag the same way. If I said NO ash you guys wouldn't believe me. It's so little it's laughable. I pulled the tray again this afternoon and there was 2 little humps of ash in there. Stove is still on 3, glass is slightly sooted up. I'll burn that off tonite on 5 for a bit.

    I like the smell of these more than the regular okies.

    I don't think CT signed up to carry them. AFAIK they only have the Okies and its the batches they produced before the plant up grade.

    I'll send along an email to Mr. Warm and see where they are in CT for ya.

    Ok. I probably need 1 more ton for this year, or even a few bags to try, so no hurry.
