you say you've tried these three. what other choices are available to you? what is the price for these three and any other choices available?
what kind of stove do you have?
also, are the mwp the blend or the softies?

******************
i have found the crabbe to be hotter than the mwp softies.
the mwp coat everything outside of the burnpot with ash and leave the inside of the burnpot completely clear. the crabbe tend to ash up the burnpot more and leave the rest of the stove less coated.
but in these cold days and nights, it's the crabbe that give me more heat.
and i'd rather have the ash more in the ash pan and burn pot than in the venting and other passages of the stove.

i've pretty much settled the crabbe because i have found a local source that is $50 per ton cheaper than what i paid to have these delivered from downstate.
they do the job best of all the pellets i've burned, i just wish i had access to more choices at decent prices.

i have never burned the canniwick.

I have a Harman p61. I live in central Maine. The mwp were a blend. Thought about trying mwp softies.

The crabbe pellets I found for $260? If I remember correctly. The store that I got these from have other popular brands but don't deliver. I like them seemed like a good pellet.

The canawick pellets burned fine and have little to no dust in the bag compared to the other two brand of pellets. But produced insane amount of ash. Not sure if its because they are a hardwood pellet?... so I will probably not buy these again and they were expensive $300 ton.
 
Cleanest pellet. Great heat
 
@stearl, where are you getting the Crabbé for $50 less?
