Have the choice to buy these 3 brands at 279/ton. Which do most people prefer? pros and cons of each.
 
I am partial to the Okanagans- they are very hot and extremely clean. However you can't go wrong with any of the 3.
 
All three are good pellets.

I would say Okies are the most popular softwood and The barefoots are the most popular hardwood. IMO Rockies are good but just alittle less heat and a tad more ash.

Your Omega will not have an issue with any of them. Mine loves the softwood pellets. So as BTU said. a ton of each or 50/50.

Personally I favor softwoods(IMO softwoods are less prone to fiber issue's like the hardwoods). But the barefoots did burn very well in the Omega too!

I vote for buying a ton of each. Their all good (or best on the planet, if your talking to BTU...LOL). So buy a ton of each one, you'll get good results (heat), and also have some info on which one(s) actually work best for YOU for future purchases.
