I could not get my normal order of Stove Chow this year. All that was available was AWF and Nature's Own at my local Lowes. I chose 3 ton on Nature's Own to start for shoulder burnings. I like them better than stove chow. According to research, they are the same pellet, but they are burning cleaner and hotter in my cpm. I was able to lower my settings on my cpm to 1-1-1 and heat range 3. Great heat and flame. It's 30 degrees out and holding a steady 71 in the house. I'm going back next week to pick up 2 more ton before the price increase in December.
