Yesterday, I bought 3 bags of Inferno's and 2 bags of Stove Chow from lowes.

Burning the first bag of Inferno right now and theres barely any heat from them....

Trying to get thru this bag ASAP so I can put the Chow in there.

Never again will I buy these.

Returning them to lowes for something better.
 
I also bought those Inferno’s from lowes used them for anti skid on the driveway because they don't put out any heat worse pellet I ever tried to burn. The stove chow burn good great heat a bit much on the ash though.

It's all about the heat....a little extra ash shouldn't be a problem as long as the house is warm, and the price was right.
 
Hello

Infernos are made from recycled building materials. Like Meatloaf made from mystery meat!

I bought some and the smell from inside the bag was too much!

However I really like their Ad and the colorful pellet bags!

I've tried Maine's Choice and Curran's from Lowe's this winter. The MC are dirty, but not the worst I've tried. The Curran, yep, THOSE were a new low. Must be made of equal parts play-doh and used tires. Barely useful spread on ice or mud.

You know how a lot of bags say 'not for animal feed' or similar? Curran should say 'not for heating use, do not feed to your poor stove, what did it ever do to you?!'.

Now im gonna buy some
 
Of all the luck....
First I buy this medical waste for pellet fuel....

I went to return them and ripped the bag...so I had to keep 1 bag of them.

Figured I'd burn thru them last night, 63 in the house when I woke up.

A CANDLE PUTS OUT MORE HEAT!!!!!

Never again will I even consider these pellets.
 
Friend swapped me a bag of Inferno's few weeks ago and I say they weren't bad!!
72 this morn in my house burning my last bag of CLEAR BAGGED OKIES! circa 2007
 
Atleast you only bought a couple of bags rather than a whole ton and find
out they are nothing but glorified mulch. IMO.

I bought about 10 bags last year in support of a local mill starting up. Ended up hating them
and couldn't wait till they were gone.

Rumor on the street was they were supposed to be a much better quality this year, but
I did not try them again to find out.
