I don't know anything about the Indeck or badger pellets, but if the Marth & ProPellets are equal in price, I'd lean toward the Marth.......maybe even do a split order and get some of each. The Marth burned great in my Englander stove.DaveyWoodard said:
The propellets are just around the corner from me, and the marth I have to travel an hour for I think. I read through your entire test of pellets, and it was so useful. I hope as I begin this little journey into pellet stoves I can help like that.

remember to open some windows when you do your initial burn , the stove WILL smoke as it heats up , dont freak out , its burning the oil out of the steel , initial burn should be about 3 hours on a mid range. after it "cooks out' in the initial fire it wont do it again
Thanks Mike. I like the stove more already now that I am seeing it up close. Now the venting just needs to get here.

btw, if you want to pre burn it outside to avoid the smell, you do not have to be connected to a vent to burn the stove if outside

That's what I did w/ my 10cpm....burned it right out on the deck w/ a piece of exhaust pipe sticking through the rails over the driveway.....worked great, and NO smell inside. Ran the stove on heat setting 5 for 3 hrs. as recommended by Mike.
The neighbor did look at me kinda funny though :lol:

I have to echo what Pete said. If the Marth and Propellets are the same cost, I would go with the Marth's. Burned great in My Omega. Propellets were not as good and produced a bit more ash for me. I am in no way saying the Propellets are bad, Just not as good as the Marth's. If they are cheaper and easier to get, The Propellets will produce decent heat for you.
As with anything I suggest, I always recommend a trial of the pellets in your stove as they all tend to be a bit different. Just to be on the side of caution!
Did you find any softwood brands around you? Uncle Jed's are popular out there and are hot and clean burning pellets. Try them you will like them!

I agree....do some searching/calling and see if you can find the Uncle Jed's.....very good pellet, by all accounts on this forum. They are Bear Mtn pellets in a different bag, and Bear Mtns. get rave reviews. Pine/spruce mix, IIRC.
Uncle Jeds softwood pellets are pine= very goodimacman said:
Uncle Jeds doug fir are Bear Mtn custom bagged= even better
I think I found a place very near by that has the uncle jed's pellets. I think they have just the pine though.
