i am 10 bags in to the ton i purchased to test this year,highest heat i have seen from over 8 premium brands so far,but the ash is out of control.my harman XXV ash pan has to be emptied every 2 days.most other pellets i empty it once a week during cleaning and it still isn't full
 
I'm burning them now and find the ash is next to nothing compared to what I was burning before them. But then again i've been burning soft wood all winter as that's all I could find around here. But with the daily -20C temps I needed extra heat from the soft woods
 
Same thing here. The heat is incredible but I'm 3/4 of a ton into burning them and the ash pan fills up all the way to the top after 3-5 days in my P68. Burned Barefoots, LG's, and a few others so far this year and the Cubex put out the best heat but by far the most ash. Not even close.
 
I am 2 days into a 6-bag test on these, so far the heat is good, maybe even a little better than my OK Platinums. Can't comment on the ash yet. Problem for me is I can't get 24 hours on 2 bags - which I can on the 4 others I've burned.
 
i got a small amount more heat out of the cubex vs the okie platniums.392 vs 390 degrees but the ash is 3x the amount on cubex.okie platniums cost me $329 a ton cubex $279.at 6 tons a year i will vacum more to save the bucks.
let me know how your ash test turns out.thanks
