Sure you can. I have heard some say you get a great balance of heat and longer burns by doing so. There are some pellet manufacturer's that do that for you right at the mill. Energex Canadian in the green bags has been doing a blend for a long time.

Well, In some cases(like mine). You just have to try them all or as many as possible.
Some of us use the pellet for the "season" method per say. I have Cubex/Hamers/Turmans for the extreme cold. To save a bit of cash I have what we call shoulder season pellets for the fall/spring season. Were the pellets don't have to be heat crankers. This allows me to purchase a cheaper pellet. I don't recommend it for everyone and always try before you buy. The cheap pellets are generally cheap for a reason. Some contain excessive ash amounts and so on. Doesn't bother me so much because of the multifuel feature of my stove.
