Fireside Ultra vs Timber Heat

[geek]

My local Home Depot has a few pallets ($239), never burned them in my Napoleon NPS45.
A Lowes store has Timber Heat, checked that number and it seems like they're made by :

Dry Creek Products, Inc.
P.O. Box 343
Arcade, NY 14009

I put in an order for 4 tons of Fireside Ultra at HD for delivery some time next week but still looking around just in case......really hoping my NPS45 likes them...

Thoughts?

Which lowes?, Timber heat is better than GS, Timber heat are made by Dry Creek, which are decent pellet's,

I like em both, But give the edge to Timber Heats.

Any info on the FSU

I hear timber heats are a good pellet by other members but never seen them in my area. I have been burning FSU for three seasons now with no issues

The Fireside Ultras I bought at HD seem to be putting out very good heat and the ash is not really bad at all, when I pull out the lever to clean the rods or heat exchange tubes I see minimal ash coming down.

I'm still though having the same cake formation issue in the burn pot...

Super-newbie here, haven't bought my first pallet of anything yet, just bags. I've gone through 2 bags of each of the following: 2 Chows, 2 FSU, and 2 Nature's Heat (Pennington/Walmart). Chows were fine and I'd buy more. NH's were total garbage, some the longest pellets I've ever seen in my short career; some approaching 2.5"! Then there's the FSU's, which are part of your post. I love them and hope to buy more. Clean burn, good heat, very consistent size, minimal fines. Know nothing about Timber Heats. Hope to try some GT's if I run across any. Heard good things about Blazers and Heat'Rs too. Maybe some day I'll graduate to the high-society pellets, a la Barefoots, Turmans, La Cretes, Somersets, but for now, one week in with a 5yr old insert that I paid $975 for, the Chows and FSUs seem to be all I need to stay warm and happy. Now if I could only find more than 10 bags at a store visit!

I burned a ton of legit dry creeks last year, and i would avoid them. DIRTY is not being kind enough. 2 bags, full ash pan. no lie.

Anyone close to Naugatuck area willing to trade/swap a couple bags of pellets?

I have Fireside Ultras and would like to get a couple bags of different brand, hardwood.

I have burned about 3.5 bags of TH so far this year, I got 2 tons from Lowes, so far the ash is on a par with NEWPs as is the heat, I do notice the glass gets dirty a little faster, I use a pellet cleaner so fines aren't an issue , BUT I do get about 1.5 cups of fines and very small pellet fragments per bag in the shop vac attached to the cleaner.. some of the pellets are longer than the NEWPs but none reach 2" or more and the AGP doesn't seem to have an issue with the few that get loaded

Geek, I'm next door in Wtby, but only have 9 bags of FSU to my name! I'd trade ya for more FSU, but got nothin' for ya! Stopped by HD in Milldale (Chesire) on the way home from work...nothing, not a single bag. I stop every day cuz I drive by HD twice a day.
