Yep... after the test I did, now my St. Croix hates them. I can't get good heat ( 160 on med 3.5 lbs per hr and that's with a clean stove), of course when I did the test it was not this cold out( teens at night, high 20's/low 30's daytime). I know I now have found my Shoulder season pellet for next yr. I just think to myself when I first got the stove I thought a pellet was a pellet, have learned so much from ya all. Just want to post my NEW out come with the chow.
