The bag for Rocky Mountain lists "Durability Index = 97.5+" but what does that mean? (Rocky Mountain seems to provide the most information of the main producers - for example, BTU = 8200, percentage of fines "at mill gate" and so forth.)
Why don't some of the other good pellets like Okanagans and Spruce Pointe have the same information?
I have no clue as to what it means and this is the first I have ever heard of it.
On our bags we state that the product meets the PFI standards for "Super Premium", less than 5% moisture, less than .5% ash content, low salt and if anyone would like 3rd party results I would be more than happy to provide
As for anything else, personally I think it's "fluff"...you are buying any pellet for really only two things. 1. How much heat they produce and 2. how much ash is left over...that's it..It's that simple...anything else is mostly marketing mumbo jumbo double speak....I have NEVER heard anyone buy ANY pellet because they were impressed with the % of fines found at the mill gate.
That said...I think Rockies are a good pellet...but have no idea what the heck the Durability Index is.....that's a new one for me.
