LMFAO.
Absolutely classic. I started reading this and thought that I was drunk. Then I realized....oooops- I havn't even been drinking. Funny as all hell yo!
 
I haven't burned Somerset pellets yet, but there were some notable differences burning the Fireside Ultras and the Stove Chows. The Fireside Ultra's don't burn quite as hot as the Stove Chow, they are a darker-colored pellet, and produce a little more ash than Stove Chow. The Stove Chows produce the most heat of any pellet I burned this season (I burned a lot of Penningtons which did well in my Fahrenheit furnace, not a hot pellet but a clean burner), and a white/gray ash that can be vacuumed and brushed very easily. The FS Ultras required a little extra cleaning time and produced a bit more ash than Stove Chow, but still a great pellet IMO. If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the Stove Chow over FS Ultras.
