New pellet on the market. Looking for feedback on performance.....

[Cincinnati Kid]

While driving 50 miles or so east of Cincinnati, I noticed that the old Pennington Wood pellet plant in Peebles, OH was up and running again. I did a little research on the internet and found that a company called Northeast Wood Products out of CT purchased that plant along with another Pennington mill in northern Indiana.

They are selling pellets called Thermaglo. Has anyone ever tried any of these pellets? Any comments on performance or where to purchase some? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

never heard of Northeast Wood Products. Looks like the casino folks bought it up.

In the past, pennington/natures heat have been pretty much garabge. if the thermaglo are using the same fiber form the same mills, chit in, chit out just the same.....

If their manufacturing process is the same, then the pellets will be 2 to 3 inches long! I would skip them.

These are by far the ashiest pellets I've ever burned in 15 years. I can't even go a week without emptying my ash pan and I can typically go 3-4 weeks. Decent heat, unbelievable ash.

I find them to be hotter, with less ash and much less fines than this year's Currans. Also better than Heat'rz and TCS Equine pine bedding (the darker pellets). Unfortunatley I haven't put any FSU's in the Harman (FSU's reserved for the Hastings), so can't make a comparison of those, but my guess is they are more ashy than the FSU's, but hold their own heat wise. of course others, who apparently have access to better pellets than I have, really hate them. I, on the other hand, would have gladly gotten 3 tons of these on my pre-buy instead of this year's Currans!

We picked up few bags at Lowes few months ago. OK pellet.
