Out with the Chow in with the Turmans. Glad I dont just buy the cheapest pellets. Id be chilly this winter if I did. All pellets are not the same, Just saying.
Im very lucky. I lost power on tue. at 7:30 pm and got it back wed. at noon.There are still thousands without power here. Very sad. how did you make out acrosse the sound?How do you still have power on LI?
A lot of people liked the green teams. I didnt get a chance to try them. I'll go back to the Stove Chow. Its supposed to warm up in the next few days. I see you have some summersets. How do they compare to the Turmans?Im a couple of weeks behind you. Im going in with the Chow and moving to Turmans soon. This Green Team has got to go, it is the absolute worst thing i have even seen. Im glad the last bag is in the hoppa

About the same as you. I'm about 10 miles from the coast. We had a lot of wind, but little to no rain. I lost power on Tuesday 1:30pm and it came back on Thursday afternoon. I'm very thankful that was the worst (no damage etc.)Im very lucky. I lost power on tue. at 7:30 pm and got it back wed. at noon.There are still thousands without power here.

I was going to stay with the GS's until it got colder. Came home to a cooler than usual house(68ºF)......
I was going to stay with the GS's until it got colder. Came home to a cooler than usual house(68ºF), So I scooped em out and tossed in some presto's. Flame is much bigger and the heat is just pouring from the beast! Maybe its just me, But I feel much warmer now. Both pellets are 209/ton just so ya know!
Cubex and Hamers can stay on deck for now! I'll pick up some more presto's and save the last 6 bags of gs's till springtime!
My Presto's are not far behind the Sets in heat. Ash is another story (lots), but I only care about the Heat
I have them in the Quad now... Love the Dark color Some hate'em.. I love'em
Who hates 'em??
My stove is on auto/off during the day(I get good solar gain) and hi/lo at night. Heat setting 3. Stove is on stat. My theory is why over work the stove, Pellets that put more volume in usually throw more heat. So the room gets hotter faster and the stove goes back to low or off faster(satifies the stat quicker). Stove doesn't work as hard and I don't see that much difference in how much it eats with the hotter pellets. I would need to increase the feed rate up from 3(approx 4 lbs/hr) to feed rate 4(5.5 lbs/hr.) to get about the same heat from the GS as the Presto's, I do notice it eats lots more fuel at feed rate 4. Plus the stove is working harder. I also get a better fire on low with the presto's. The GS's almost seem like they are gonna go out on low. GS's aren't thrilling me much either, IMHO there are better bb pellet brands out there for the same dime! I'll pass on the GS's and leave them for those that seem to have better luck with em. No offence was meant by this post. Just my 2 lousy cents worth!I tried a bag of GS today....they fed the slowest of any of the pellets I have tried this year. They could not keep the temp up so I switched from running on low to thermostat hi/lo...problem solved.
Who hates 'em??
No offense taken...just trying to point out that under the right circumstance they may be OK. Not really my choice for a pellet either.
