This is my first year burning pellets. I bought a big E used for $500 and installed it myself. I have run it some and really like it so far. I was wondering if anyone else has one and if so, is there any specific pellets these seem to burn better like soft wood or hardwood? The stove is a 2006 model. From what I read, it seems like the newer ones are not as good since US stove bought them. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
