It is my annual post in the hearth room but now lets do it with the pellet pigs.

..you can tell within two degrees the difference between two brands of pellets.

...you can spot two wet bags on a pallet from across the parking lot.

Go for it.

You drive by a house with pellets in the yard and

1. Can tell the brand by the silhouette you see through the plastic

And

2. Wonder why the owner hasn't moved them out of the elements!

the amount of pellets you pour, in one shot, from the bag into the hopper, is the precise amount it takes to fill it to the brim (after leveling) over 98% of the time.

When people come to visit they don't have layers to take off because they are dressed like they have to at their house. And they suffer for it.
 
....you prefer the smell of pellets instead of coffee to wake yourself up in the morning.
 
1. you know one of your neighbors got a pellet stove, because the exhaust smells different than yours.

2. you see the same neighbors unloading a ton of pellets and think "oh no, they bought the crappy pellets"

See OMV
 
You know your'e a real pellet burner.....
....If you have learned to smell the difference between Barefoot, Turman and Somerset:)

....If you have learned to feel the difference in heat between your "good stuff" vs. your neighbors "shoulders-only" pellets, regardless of who's burning what!!!:p

....If you understand exactly why, after making pellets for many years that were only available in specialty retail shops, a manufacturer suddenly decides to sell to "Big-Box" stores and then comes out with a different name on their bag every year for 4 years in a row and all this doesn't make you say hmmmmm? :cool:

You`re a real pellet pig if you buy pellets and don`t even have a stove to burn them in.

if you have in excess of twenty ton, of top shelf pellets, in storage, inside a climate controlled warehouse.

take that OMV, storing pellets outside in the elements................:p
 
You know both air paths through your stove better than the manufacturer and what cleaning them actually means.
Unfortunately, as I have come to learn, you don't need to know a whole lot about your stove in order to "out-know" the manufacturer's reps. Kinda silly, but very much a reality.
 
your wife serves you pellets as a side (broken image removed)
Only amatures do pellets without gravy. And sweet jesus OMV....keep buttering your spud like that we're gunn be missing you really soon!
 
If you find some pellets on a business trip you never heard of, take a bag as your carry on luggage to get them home to test and post results on pellet mill

As long as it is pellet shaped, you burn it.
