I made another trip to get pellets today. I was hoping to get some Great Americans because I got the C&C Smith ones last time. Since my dealer sells both, I wanted to compare.
I was talked into the C&C Smith ones, told they were better. Read some reviews, was again assured by the sales guy that the C&C were better. Fine. That is what I went with. I was even told that they sometimes sell out of the C&C's so I should get them while I can. I got 30 bags to start.
Well they seem to have ALOT of fines, and I want to say a fair amount of ash. But, I have no real basis for comparison. I did get one bag of Great American from my neighbor and they seemed to have less fines. I didn't clean my stove before using them, so I can't comment on the ash.
So, I get up there. I tell the sales guy I want the GAP's this time. He tells me they are out of them and again recommends the C&C's. I kinda have a feeling they are pushing the C&C's because they aren't selling well compared to the GAP's.
So, I begrudgingly got 40 more bags of the C&C's. Tomorrow, I will go up there again and get 40 more. I have an opportunity to pick them up this weekend and can't wait. My wife is going out of state later this week for a few weeks to visit our daughter. Since our daughter needs a car, we are giving her what currently serves as a pellet hauler. I do have a truck, but it's getting some repairs, body and mechanical (my wife backed into it). I won't have it back for a few months because a friend is doing me a favor and I told him to take his time.
After my run tomorrow, I still have 40 bags more to get. I am going to tell them I want GAP's.
