Yup, Inferior sets. I'll be by to take them crappy pellets off your hands for 1/2 off.
All of them? you were first to offer so their yours
 
Using the Softwood setting Auto its running medium for the most part
 
That looks odd??????

Do you have an OAK? Is your R/H pretty high (relative humidity)??

I would love to poke blame at the Sets :)

But I Effin no better ;)

That was my first thought moisture, but no OAK 74 F in here dry as a bone
sure hope i didnt catch a bad load of sets lol
 
I had this exact same thing when I cleaned my stove today,burning green label lignetics.
 
Well to be honest i been playing around switching off some MWP and a bag of GS so cant totally say Sets but mostly Sets
 
Maybe they finally made a chitty batch ;em

I had better come get all of them off your hands. As my furnace burns the chittiest of pellets :)

Dear Sir,
Please step away from my pellets. Please see post 4 or 5 as I have already claimed them. :)
 
well i have 1 ton of the original sets not from my load. gonna have to compare
 
I get this with most of the good hardwoods that an amount of oak in them. Cubex and Turmans to name a couple. Had a batch of Hamers do it too. Think the oak has a sticky sap like the softies in its fiber and when the embers fly out of the pot they stick to the cast iron. I also get some stuck on my fire grate above my burnpot liner. Swipes right off and is nothin big to deal with. A small price to pay for all the heat they give off! As long as they aren't clinkering, I wouldn't worry!

I too will take them off your hands if you don't like em. ==c

its not your sets.

im burning them in my stove right now and i got nothing like that.

your stove may be plugged up from the other brands you were using.

give the stove a good clean, load in the sets and enjoy
 
Stoaf you got the other batch, Since it was raining i gave you the ones out of the garage Not from the full load in the tent
But im hoping that's the case mixing the other junk pellets
 
Full clean on Friday always once a week

Yea dont worry about different batches. Ive been burning them for 5 years and they have always been consistant.

This problem is from other pellets or dirty air passages in your stove for sure.

But of course i can stop by tomorrow and take the rest of the sets off your hands for 100 a ton if you want.

I can be there with a trailer around 9 am
 
I get those when my stove runs on low too long, except they look more like cocoons or mud tubes in my case.
