I bought 5 bags each of the Heat Resource and CMC's to try out. Freeze warning tonight along with a new manometer means another all nighter of testing and beer.

Thanks again. I found the company's one page website cmcpellets.com and it had no narrative but they do give access to a copy of their twins port testing: http://cmcpellets.com/images/twinportsLSBFuel.pdf

Having difficulty interpreting the test data as I am unfamiliar with what to look for in the results.

You want the numbers in the As Received column. They list the % moisture, % ash, %sulfer, and BTU/lb. Below is the density, %fines, durability. Everything is well within PFI's premium specs.

Yeah, sorry - the bar code in the first set of photos is the Cubex Northern. Here's the Energex Golden:

Pure Fires were Dry Creeks softwood endeavor. They were a decent softy when I tried them in 09/10 season.

I'm not sure they are softwoods anymore since Dry Creek was bought by PA pellet? @SwineFlue, Can you confirm if they are softwoods?

Georgia Peach is a UPC broker IIRC. Your picture didn't post, And what was the UPC code?

That's exactly why I put them up here. The bags only say 100% pure wood fibre and 1% ash. They definitely have a mild pine scent, and they noticeably cleaned the glass after I had been burning a few bags of those crappy Nature's Own. They are selling themselves short with that mediocre labelling.

Nice to see this thread was promoted to a sticky

Here's a link to my test. I liked them. Don't see them around me anymore.

Nature's own test to compare them

I stopped by the Tractor Supply in Watertown, WI to check out their house brand pellets. If I'm using the UPC decoder correctly, the bag code, 850020002030, shows that they're manufactured by Indeck of Ladysmith, WI.
 
So I know they're wood pellets....any way of finding out what KIND of wood pellets? These are bagged Tractor Supply Pellets. The last batch I had were MWP's (different code)....having trouble figuring out this code: 7 77220 10300 1
