Anyone heard of ultimate grade pellets

[NYstover]

Just bought pellets from a local hardware store. They are instant heat hardwood pellets, labeled as ultimate grade. A quick search online, I found their premium grade and standard grade, but nothing about ultimate. The only difference I can see from my other bags of pellets, is that the ash content is less than .5 vs less than 1 on my other bags.

Sounds like it's a marketing gimmick. Let us know how they heat ect.

Just a gimmick. Just like every pellet puts premium grade on the bags. I’ve seen some really bad pellets out there already.

They suck.Ask me how I know.

If you haven’t unloaded them yet do yourself a favor and return them. Awful

Yep a gimmick.. I tried a platinum grade this year and they were garbage.. dug em out and used them for litter for my little critters...

I thought Ultimate Grade was the grade above Superior. I normally go for Superior when available, otherwise Choice or Premium will do. Don’t often see Ultimate around these parts, although the Grade A label is now showing up.

Pay no attention to names. There’s nothing preventing a company from naming their pellets what they want.

The Pellet Fuels Institute has standard specifications for pellets with definitions.

Any other description terms are meaningless designed to put "lipstick on a pig"
