Has anyone ever wondered about just how truthful the BTU and ash contents that mills report for their pellets are compared to what we get in the final product. I've found some test results on a few websites

I don't know about anyone else. But I've burned all of these brands of pellets and didn't get the results that the majority of the companies out there are reporting. I fully expect pellets to differ from ton to ton. Its the nature of the material they are produced from. But quality seems to be lacking when compared to what some companies are reporting. So I guess the point of all this is something along these lines. Are some mills misrepresenting themselves and selling based on false claims. And what can the consumer do to avoid these situations?
