    I just bought 10 bags of the Black Hills and 10 bags of the Platinums - will test this week, and get back (is it wrong to feel excited about burning a new pellet?).

    Place I bought them has this info.

    Platinums:
    Okanagan Platinum pellets are 100% soft wood with no additives, and made in British Columbia. 8789 btu’s per pound. Ash is .39%. $300 per ton $7 per bag.

    Black Hills:
    Black Hills Heat by Okanagan. Softwood pellets made in the USA from 100% Ponderosa Pine. 9038 BTUs per pound. Ash is .4%. $285 per ton. $6.50 per bag

    I gotta say I am impressed. They burn pisser hot. So hot on 5 you feel waves of heat across your face from the radiance itself....15' away. I cleaned one day and emptied the center tray 24 hours later. Less than a cup of ash. As long as I empty the pan every two days there's no reason this thing won't go a week without cleaning there is so little ash. The side trays won't need emptying for another 4-5 days.

    Stalker asked me how I liked them today. I give them three thumbs up. I think they're even hotter than the okanagans.

    i got nothing free. Didn't ask for anything. He did offer to let me go to the plant to see what they are doing and grab a few fines free bags if I went. Not worried. I'll hold it over his head for a while :oops:

    Ok, I've been burning the Black Hills for a few days now and they are fantastic. Here in Maine, the temp has been really cold over the last few nights - below 20. On nights like these, I run my Harman on stove temp high - 73/74 degrees - to push the heat to the back bedrooms. With most pellets, running in this mode, I can go through 3/4 of a bag overnight. Over the last two nights, with Black Hills, I only went through 1/3 bag of pellets overnight. They burn hot with little ash (light & fluffy). My new favorite pellet.
