I will start by saying this, I have lived Northern hardwood pellets since we first installed our stove 8 years ago. When costs permitted I chose to burn these over any other pellet.

This year I bought 5 tons to get us through the winter-more than I usually burn but I was anticipating a cold winter.

I’m curious if anybody has had any issues with this years batch? By issues I should say that they still burn hot and create a decently low amount of ash. What I am seeing is that the ash forming in the burn-pot of my P61A is clumpy and hard, like it has all melted into one hard chunk. I’ve also found blue fibers in the ash this year-looks like plastic.

I’ll still burn them and buy them, but I’ve never seen any of these issues with Northerns it any other pellet for that matter.

Thoughts?
