Last year i burnt the indeck pellets made in ladysmith,wi and they seemed to be a good pellet compared to the brands i have been trying on these cool nights and this is what i have found ! Bought a couple of bags of lumberjack premiums at a local feedmill and was told by the fellow that put them in my truck that they were pretty good pellets as he used them last year to heat his home, BUT said the ones they are making now are really good as there track record wasn't the best at start up! So on my way home i stopped in at the hayward,wi plant and said i would like to buy some fresh pellets to try out and they set me up with some. These pellets were IMO a very good pellet, good heat and not alot of ash. The other two bags from feedmill not so good ( lots of ash and lower temps from stove). Would buy their pellets if i could be sure when they were made as they have no date stamp on their bags and they had alot of pallets sitting there waiting to be shipped out to dealers! Who knows when they were made! Have pennywise pellets by marth in the stove now and i am not impressed at all! Very ashy and low heat! Would like to try some other brands but not sure what else us available in this area. Any suggestions on some other brands to try ? Willing to travel to pick some up ! Thanks for your thoughts on this !!
