Has anyone notice the small pellet length on these? My avg length is 1/4 to maybe 1/2(very few of that length). dont remember them being that short when I tried them last spring. just wondering.

i tried a bag last week that had the same size pellets.....but with the heat they put out not really an issue for me...GREAT PELLET!
 
I just burned a few bags and thought the same thing. Shorter pellets and more fines than I remember but they still burn good with little ash.
 
burned a ton last year and was very happy with them. not sure if size matters!!
 
size (small that is) as long as they are not ground to dust doesnt matter that much also its been my experience that the same brand can come in slightly different length average from year to year , no biggie , i should note though that in most cases you would notice slightly to moderately faster feeding with smaller pellets due to the increased density of pellets per section of auger flighting (more fit in the same space) so each turn would yield more fuel.
 
Depends on the stove, my Mini did not feed well with them. But they do put out some heat!
