Feeling the Heat

Looking for a pellet that compares with Okanagan Platinum and Gold from the following:
Hamers Hot Ones, Energex Hardwood, and Appalachian Hardwoods???

I've been burning Oki for the last two seasons, but may not be able to get any this season.

Thanks in advance.

Loved the Hamer Hot ones. Have 4 tons ready to go for winter. Doubt any of these choices will compare to the Doug Fir pellets though.

x2 for Hamers, historically a very hot pellet.
 
Not to switch gears but anyone like Main soft wood pellets? I've used the hardwood and those were okay.

None of those would be a direct substitute. Can't replace a softwood pellet with a hardwood. Oki's call for Northern Softs, Vermont, and maybe Lacretes.
 
Hamers, burn hot, start easy and minimal clean-up. I had to slow feed rate as pellet length was overall shorter and would burn hot and fast compared to other pellets.
 
Love the Hamer's. Just put three ton in the basement last weekend.
