I tried my first bag of appling county pellets so far Ive had to jack my auger speed up from 2 to 3 with a fan speed of 5 on my Englander/summer heat 1500. Despite raising the auger speed the temperture has dropped from 325 to 250 degree's. Im comparing the appling county to Clean energy(which I like) and Pennington(I also like but the pellets are too long and I can hear my auger working double time snapping them into pieces). Both clean energy and pennington purchased at Lowes 5.98 a bag. Its ashame, the appleton county's were 228 a pallet. I purchased three bags of appling so lets see what happens with the other bags of appling county?
