Pellets are sold by weight. The above numbers describe an allowable 15% difference in volume from different pellets.The Barefoot bag doesn't have a PFI seal on it & calls itself super premium & the bag doesn't list a % of fines. I'd guess the Barefoot to be the denser pellet than Corinth & so be a hotter pellet which would allow the stove to burn at a lower rate & prevent wear except for the possibility that the denser pellet might not crunch as easily in the auger & have results there also.jtakeman said:BLIMP said:My theory is simply that I've yet to see volume considered as a factor in evaluating pellets.
Well after checking the PFI standards it says Bulk density, Lbs.per cubic foot. Should be 40 to 46lbs.. So if the 40 lbs bag fits in 1 cubic foot. It passes spec's!
Find a 1 cubic foot box and be sure the 40 lbs fits in the box. If it doesn't fit all in, there not up to spec! So they would be considered less dense. Correct?
