Well my dealer has these pellets coming in and he seems to bee happy with them. He says not alot of ash and seem to burn hot just alittle bigger than most pellets. I have read on here that they people say they are junk. so I dont know if I want to get them I would like to get a half dozen bags and try them. but now it is warming up and the stoves dont run much. so guys give me your opinions on the appling county pellets.
