Somerset at TSC in WV smells like oak. If it smells like differential fluid I would go back and question them about it.

My Sets smell mostly like Oak, which yeah isn't the best smelling wood IMO. The pine pellets I've used on the other hand smell wonderful.

I liked that pine pellets smell but the burn was horrible.

I noticed mine smelled different then ever before but not like grease. I have often wondered what it would be like to add a slight amount of used oil to the pellet making process.

Not good. If you want to know, add some soybeans to your pellets and watch what happens. Just a little, not much.

Any pellet's composition will depend entirely on what is in the feedstock feeding the hammermill and extruder and Somerset runs a huge flooring mill so all the wood waste is pelletized. If they are running oak flooring that day, you get oak. If it's cherry, you get cherry. If it's piss elm, guess what, you get piss elm.

Pellets are (I imagine) a huge profit maker for them in as much as pre extruding, the wood waste was landfilled or mulched. Of course the infrastructure to extrude pellets isn't cheap. Just a commercial ring extruder can cost upwards of a half million bucks but I'm sure the pellet plant is paying for itself and then some.....
