pullin the trigger on MWP

[summit]

We just had the rep stop by (again) this wk with 5 bags of the new Maine Woods pellets: new logo on the bag is cute. The pellets look much improved over yrs past, they actually have a glossy look like some of the energex i see out there. we're gonna pull the trigger on a truckload or two to have a price point pellet to sell. Firing up a Bosca Spirit out in the yard this AM to give a bag a try. The Bosca burned even the old MWP with no issues, but it has a small ashpan: so we'll get a good gauge on how much ash these leave behind. keep ya posted.

I am all ears(or should that be eye's?) here waiting for your results on them.

Okay, so we set up the Bosca, ran it for bout 1/2 the day on mediumish setting (@ 4 1/2 hrs at @2.5 lbs/hr), so basically @ 11lbs of fuel. Heat seemed pretty good coming out (hard to gauge, it is still summer, and it was burning outside), they ignited quickly.
The pan on the Bosca is small, only @ 2" deep. ash was very light, did not even begin to cover the bottom of the pan. Not even enough for me to scoop out with a credit card. No clinker in the burn pot, just a little dust. Glass stayed clean. So far, so good. I know it's a pretty limited test, but I had several installs to do and several sales to work out today, so i couldn't give it the full run... but pretty positive nonetheless!~

Sounds very possitive and I will definetly burn a few bags this year.
