Testing pellets

[oldmountvernon]

going to start testing heat temperatures with different pellets. i figured i would ask instead of going at it blind.
While testing do you read temps at all settings? or just on highest ? Right now im running at low 24/7 not sure if thats a good test setting

I have 12 different brands to test. I am only using a low setting to test my heat output. I think the key to good data is consistency.

while searching i see posts about tests by " Jay " testing every brand? anyone have a link to those test results? ( newbie so i dont know who Jay is yet )

I do it on Low. But thats where I run 90% of the time. I would say test where your going to use it the most. Because thats when you will be looking at it the most and you will have a good baseline.
