Advantage or DISadvantage of Slow Burning Pellets

[twojrts]

Can anyone tell me the difference? They are hardwood pellets. Dealer says they are very slow burning.

I've never heard pellets described that way before.

What brand are they ? Chances are somebody here has tried them.

If I had to guess I'd say that a fast burning pellet is going to create higher heat where a slow burning pellet would be lower heat but really how much difference could there be ?

They are made by Tree Cycle out of Nazareth, PA.

Bag says: "Premium Hardwood Pellets." It also says BTU: Greater than 8.400 BTU

Probably more info to be found if you search this website.

sounds like a sales pitch.

Thanks so much cncpro!!

Been reading and reading. I've turned the stove up and they seem to be burning better. Have a ton coming tomorrow.

My dealer is Swift Co., Rt. 13 SB, New Castle, DE. This is their first time with Tree Cycle pellets. $250 @ ton. Not bad considering they sold the Ligs last year for $325 @ ton!!

Got to head to work. Everyone have a safe and great day!!

I might add, that some really hard, dense pellets might burn slower, than say a softwood pellet that is less dense. Some sawdusts and mills compact to different rates.
