Hi all, has anyone used or even heard of Bio power pellets , white bag with green logo. My local Canadian tire has started carrying them instead of the canawick ones I have been burning last 2 years.

Feeling the Heat
I just picked up a few bags of these to try them out. They come from a factory in the Rainy River District of western Ontario. They're hardwood, but the timber industry in the area supplies pulpwood, so we're not talking about oak or other high-btu hardwood species here. The pellets look relatively light in color, and the bags are clear, so I can see that they don't contain a lot of fines. I will run my test batch and report back.

These are pretty good pellets. I've gone through seven or eight bags, and they produce good heat and have minimal fines and dust. They have kind of a waxy feel and a resin smell, although I wouldn't call it piney.
Ash residue seems pretty low, although I just emptied my ash pan so I may reassess that later.
The most impressive thing is the speed with which they ignite. Very quick kindling point with little smoke beforehand.
My TSC has these for $204.50/ton. Hard to beat that.
