Pre ordered through Rural King, under the assumption they were getting EasyHeats. You know what happens when we “assume”? Well.....I had probably had 15/100 bags with holes in them. These we all towards the center of the pallet, so it was not storage damage. Probably another 10 tore while unloading. These are packaged in clear bags. The fines seem excessive, and these pellets have a strange odor. Not the nice wood odor you normally get, but almost a petroleum type smell. It actually stinks. Haven’t burn enough to determine how ashy, but they are really hard to light. I’ve only tried them in my P43, but it usually lights off without an issue. Not with these. Overall....if you have an opportunity to buy these......run and don’t look back. Not at all impressed. They we cheap...but you get what you pay for.
