Pellet question

[harley75]

Merry Xmas all

The nature's own pellets I see they have a shine to them and smell like varnish.I seen some other ones they don't have a shine and smell like wood but the nature's own I think that's my trouble will not but them again

well made pellets will be hard and shiny, pellets that are old and have been damp or in a humid storage or made with to much moisture before it make it to the die. will be not as shiny and break easily

I see what your saying but these are easy to break and smell like varnish.I never had that before must be old or they got damp I don't know

I've had some this year Harley that were last years and the burned like *&%T. gotta keep trying different kinds and find what works best in your stove.

Some pellets use wax and other fillers as a binder.

I had good luck with Natures Own.I believe they are an Energex product.If I came across them again I would buy them.What kind of problems are you having?

They don't seem to burn right and ashy cut the feed back to 4 air at 5 trying that for now might go back to timber heat had a few bags of them and the burnt nice and less ash.The only thing I can do is play around with it
