I was told by my Harman dealer that some pellet stoves like certain pellets as opposed to others. To all the P38 users out there what pellets are you having your best luck with?
Thanks

Like hoss said try some of whats available to you in the area. But if you mention what is close to you. We might be able to help guide you to the better brands. We love to chat about pellets and it does make for some good chatting.
Of coarse your looking for the hottest, cleanest and at the most reasonable price you can swing.
Some stoves aren't picky but the owner sure can be. So even if we say this or that is a great pellet. Still best to try a few bags to get a feel for them.

Mine burns anything available but the ash residue can often show me differences from one brand to another.
I try to stick with a good name brand premium (low ash) but even they can be inconsistant from one year to the next.
Actually I find that my Englander PDVC also burns different brand premium pellets well so my only criteria is *Premium* grade . That said , I`ve not yet seen anything less than premium grade available around here.

Going on my 8th year with the old P38. The best brands I have found, keep in mind this can change yearly, have been the following: Hardwood-Somerset hands down. Softwood: Atlas, Clear Burn, Eureka
Pellets I will not burn again because of low heat and high ash content: Michigan Hardwood/North Country and Maeder Brothers-Both very sub par pellets compared to the other brands when burned in the P38. I hope this helps!

I have issues with Kentucky Kernal pellets. Some are over 2 inches long and they bridge/build up in the hopper. The stove will then not feed pellets and shuts down. It is a apin in the butt!
