How many and what have you burned so far?

[Tom Pencil]

I have gone through 41 bags so far this year....

3 - Somerset
20 - Penningtons
2 - ProPellet
16 - Rocky Mountains

Ranking order for
Best Heat.......Rocky Mountain, Somerset, ProPellet then Penningtons
Ash................Somerset, Rocky Mountains, ProPellet then Penningtons
Fines..............Tie for fewest amount- (Somerset, Penningtons, ProPellet) then Rocky Mountains had the most.
Dust...............Worst was Rocky Mountains by far
Price/bag........Penningtons($3.84 match + 10%off/ $5.99 reg), Somersets and Penningtons($4.25- 10 ton purchase/ $5.49 reg), ProPellet ($4.99 reg)
Over all..........Somerset, Rockys, ProPellet, then Penningtons; basically all four are nice pellets just each one has own high notes as well as low.

My Harman Eccentra does not mind the fines as they will burn but the dust when pouring the bags in the hopper I was surprised by the amount of dust given off by the Rocky Mountains. The other three varieties hardly anything noticable, maybe just a softwood thing?

man i used rockys and they had little to no dust at all and little fines. I thought they were a great pellet but cannot find them this year in my area so i am using dry creek, AWF and instant heat, all good pellets. I have burned maybe 12 bags so far. i can't believe you burned through 41??? man thats nearly a ton.

 

[Tom Pencil]

I'm thinking maybe more fines due to the transportation/handling?

41 bags = warm house = warm wife = happy wife

 

[packerfan]

Only 1 bag so far. With the higher price of pellets this time around, it doesn't pay for me to burn em unless it is below freezing.

17 bags of Uncle Jed's pine pellets since I fired up the stove mid-October.... 22F tonite.

Paid $197.00 per ton...

[Utilitrack]

23 bags of LG's mostly nights, not much recently though as temps have been back into the 60's. Here's to a short Winter....Global warming anyone? Anyone?

 

[Zackdog]

I have burned 6 bags of Rocky Mountains in October and so far none in November. November has been sunny and mostly in the 50's during the day and teens to 20's overnight. I am sure this weather pattern will change soon, but I'll enjoy it while I can. I will normally burn around 15 bags per month from Dec. to March.

 

[Doocrew]

25 bags of Greene Team so far this year.

 

[schmeg]

5 bags of Cubex
6 bags of Oakies
1 bag of Strongs
1 bag of Northeast
15 bags of Premier (Energex)
I'm trying lots of stuff first before I bulk up. I'm hooked on the Cubies.
Been chilly here at times, then warms up for a few days. Weather pattern is already setting up
for a not so great snowmobiling season. Needs to stay cold.

I've gone through 25 bags of LG and 8 bags of Pennington Natures heat.
So far the Penningtons have provided very hot heat and the ash is less than the LG but the fines are a lot more.

 

[treehackers]

1/2 ton of LG mostly at night - two stoves on low

 

[90durham]

45 bags burnt so far with them being an even split between LG's and Curran. On a side note I took my first load of oil today and from early last May I used a total of 25 US gallons,SWEET.
