Pellet QC

In a word, yes, for a bag and a half that looks normal, even the colour is good

Some of the reviewers of these pellets are saying they get no ash, how is that possible? I have played with my air settings and have it at what I think is correct settings. Short of blowing the ash out with a higher fan setting I can't see how you could have less ash, ash is ash right? No matter how you burn you can't get rid of it any other way other than blowing it out of the exhaust?

I don't know your stove, or your pellets, but as a comparison, I burn 24/7 (with a quick clean every day, or other day) and can go 3 weeks without emptying the ash bin. So that's at least 21 bags, more like 30 I bet with the cold weather.

Is it possible it's not all ash? If there were some unburned content, that would explain the volume and weight of your "ash"

a lot depends on the quality of your pellets and what your stove and wallet prefer.

My stove prefers a high quality pellet with low ash content. Those pellets can be pricey. There are other stoves that will burn just about anything.

For my stove burning for 24 hours with the pellets that it lines that would be a lot of ash.

I am burning Northern Warmth Douglas fir supreme. They are a high quality low ash , and high heat pellet.
