Been burning hammer hot ones for a few years. Just finally was able to score some barefoots. The past couple weeks temp was around 12-30 degrees. Hammers on mid burn temp was 285. Tonight, after a good clean, couldn't wait, & dumped a bag of barefoots in, temp @ 240. Hammers are the tru hot ones!I did make some adjustments, but hammers still were much hotter( in my stove) Barefoots are burning at my OMalley temps.
 
I also found the "Hamer's" to be hotter.

I have not found a hotter burning pellet.......Hammers are da bomb
 
Burning hammers now, and they are HOT. The barefoots I have are nice, but they also seem to chinker more than I would expect.
 
I am amazed at how little ash the Hamer's produce. 5 bags produces less ash than 1 bag of Lignetics green label. Hamer's are awesome!

Burned the remaining Lignetics up from last season and now burning Barefoots since I have over a ton of those plus a ton each of Hamer's and Oakies. No crappy pellets this year!
