Cold snap this week in the northeast and I have been burning blazers. From Saturday to Saturday I have burned through about 7 bags of pellets. Haven't had to scrape my burnpot once and have been able to keep the living room at 72 and upstairs where I sleep at about 68 on a lower/med setting. This is great considering last year i had to labor my stove due to sub par pellets. The ash is very minimal and heat is great. Would definately buy again.
