OK.....So my wife brings 4 bags of these home for me the other day and says "Hey.....you haven't burned these for a long time, thought you'd like to try 'em!" I couldn't ask for a better pellet partner!.....Anyways, after burning through a few bags I thought the results should be shared. First observation is the nice, strong bag....I think it beats the old one. Second, There were absolutely ZERO fines or dust in the bags, a nice plus. Third, they smell weird like melted crayons or something. :bug: Now for the burning properties......HUGE amounts of ash and a clinkered burnpot.....below average heat. This is my exact reasoning for not purchasing tonnage again after 2005. For the price there are way better fuels on the market. Now please remember......these are MY results, everyone else's will differ. ;-)
