You live in Vermont why not use the best pellet that comes from your own state. Vermont wood pellets.
 
I recently bought a ton of those TSC pellets and a ton of Appalachian from Agway.

The TSC pellets create a ash dust storm in the stove very quickly and I would say put out heat on a scale of 7 out 10.
The Appalachian pellets barely create any ash and are 10/10 in heat. <==A much superior pellet

In four days there is 6" of ash in my pot using TSC pellets.
In four days there is 1" of ash in my pot using Appalachian pellets.

Now you may wonder why I got TSC pellets? Despite their ashy nature and lower burning temp, they work best in my stove when temps are 30 degrees or higher. When it is below 30, they struggle to keep the house warm and that is when I switch to Appalachian pellets. I cannot burn Appalachian in temps above 30 or else the stove gets near 100 degrees.

This is with a Serenity stove on setting one in manual mode.


So if you need an above average burning pellet, like cleaning out ash often, and not being able to see your fire then get these Tractor Supply pellets.
