Unsure what to think....

So as I posted before, I scored 2 tons of Somersets and was happily burning them. They seemed to burn well but they also seemed to leave a lot of ash and made the glass pretty messy. But ash and messy glass I can deal with as long as the heat output is good. Then I came across a very local place to me which carries Hamers Hot ones and I decided to buy 10 bags to try. Although they seemed to burn a little quicker they alo seemed to throw a lot more heat with a lot less ash and left the glass clean. Could this just be a rare few bags or is the difference that big? With the Somersets the house was constant 74 downstairs 73 up. Hamers I turned it off when the downstairs was at 80 and the upstairs at 78. Felt like summer!

cant speak for the harman but i was screwing with my flame height/ feed rate and left it on higher then usual ( forgot) . i was getting dirty burns and ash. lowered the feed rate and back to normal

just like my first impression of somersets, burn quicker more heat. i think that goes hand in hand lol

I burned almost 2 tons of Hamers last year with great results but around here they go for $295/ton. I'm not surprised you like them, how much did you pay?

I've burned some Somersets this season and really liked them, especially at 209/ton. I wish I could find more.

Both pellets have good reputations around here. I wonder if the warmer day today is influencing the extra heat you're feeling from the Hamers?

i have hamers i dont think they are that much hotter then sets pretty close

They were about $6.00 a bag. But by the ton they are $295 delivered or $280 3 tons or more

I burned them yesterday right after the Somersets! But I'm switching back to sets tomorrow to see if that is the case

By the way no disrespect to the Somersets, I still like them a lot.

i think the warm blast fooled you like previously said. i keep going to the hopper to fill it and it barely moved yesterday and overnight. ill try another bag when it gets cold maybe your right

Good pellets for sure, but when you can get the Sets for about $70-80 cheaper, they are the way to go, IMO.

I hope you guys know lowes etc. are taking a loss selling pellets. i know their reason is to get you in the store and make the difference up on other purchases. or are they really trying to kill the mom and pops ? put them out and then jack it up and take control? Them jacking GT's i think shows that future plan i think thats their ultimate plan
