A contest for the fun of it

[kenstogie]

wow looking at those long pellets makes me feel inadequate, doesn't girth count too?

 

[will711]

Wouldn't burn that in the stove!

No but what I used to burn it in had some stove like parts .

A small burn pot.
An exhaust pipe where the smoke was removed.
A small hole to introduce secondary air into the burn.

Well, I don't know if this one qualifies, it has been exposed to water, and I didn't have a tape on me when I ran across it on the shore. Musta fell off somebody's truck while they was goin' acrost the bridge, I guess .................. Still workin' on gittin' it winched up over the bank, if I kin git 'er up, I'll see if the ol' St. Croix will burn 'er...........

I save a little sample from every new brand and even different years.

The vintage 2010 AWF were the looong ones. Since then, they have all been short and this year they are a fantastic pellet. Short, hot, clean..

I also save a Bag from each brand. I am up to almost 20 different brands.

These are all different brands. I have other samples, but they are year to year of these brands to compare. But I aldo measure heat with a Cole Parmer K-type thermocouple and stack my pellets with a laser line and plumb.
Jotting everything down in a notebook, along with usage (fuel and electric).

Dude you stack everything perfect dont you?

Can't say I'm too far off, but you really take the cake. It's not a bad thing.

Not surprised its a Pennington. Most pellets in the bag are mini drinking straws.

Had a couple I know were 3.75. But my 29 month son knocked them off the window sill and half sized them.

Ok,...the jig is up,... they've been physco analizing your brain for 7569 post now...

 

[343amc]

This is the best I can come up with. Just dumped in a bag of AWF I bought last year and these two popped up. I saw another one fly by but I wasn't quick enough to grab it before it disappeared.

Let the 2 inch jokes begin.

EDIT: then I realize the contest is over. Whoops.

 

[Shaw520]

jeez guys,... my gf already thinks I have issues just being on a pellet forum,......if she finds out we're comparing the lengths of our pellets,....holy crap!

Richg is everything OK? I have an extra dime so you still have your choice. Please send your address and choice so I can wind this up.. Also since harman man cheated you still have the "mother of ALL pellets"

 

[CT-Mike]

OK I must've missed it, how did he cheat?
