Just picked up 3 bags to try out this season. More expensive ($6.99ea) than any other brand I've used previously.

I found an old thread that people thought these burned hotter (guessing since it's a blend of hardwood & softwood) and were made by Lignetics.

Anyone using these this year? Have they been as good as reported?

 

[Peterfield]

We will await your report. Haven't heard of them but I'll be interested in your impressions.

I myself picked up 3 bags rumored to be spruce, no information on the bag though I noticed

 

[Sinzitu]

Yeah, the bag does not have very many specifics. The folks at our hardware store said they heard nothing but good reports for these and that they are a blend of hard and soft woods. Unless they magically have no fines or very little ash, I doubt I'll spend the money for these at $6.99 each.

Took a quick pic of the bag...

Also supposedly lignetics makes these

Yes, Ligs makes these. Rep said they are a 50/50 Oak, Doug Fir blend but I'm not sure where they are getting the Doug Fir fiber from.

Been running these after my last cleaning. Lots of ash and dark sooty residue on the inside walls of the stove. I've tried adjusting feed rate and Stove temp rates to see if I can get a clean burn. So far no luck.

I'm going to clean the stove again this weekend and run some of the O'Malley's/Power Pellets again to see if the stove isn't burning cleanly or if it's just these pellets...

The feed rat from nyc?

Burned a ton. Lots of heat very little ash would buy them again,I am comparing them to the north american junk from lowes
