Jay, this is exactly what a smart business should be doing. It's very cheap advertising. This small act of kindness will go far! Kudo's to BT. They are a class company!

CWR said:Jay, I was thinking...This will also work both ways. When you're done, BT can take your spreadsheet and blow it up and hang it in the office. (Or post it on line) He can tell people that the information was done by an independant tester. He can show them in black and white, what pellets are better and why. A win-win, all around!

Here we go again, Still only going to burn on weekends!
Disclaimer: All stoves are different and your results may very. There are uncontrollable factors involved. Time is also a restraint. I have a real job and real life issues. This will be as time allows an I don't want to rush anything.I am not a pellet Salesman,Dealer or am I connected in anyway shape or form. Just a addicted pellet burner looking for deals like everyone else! And I got addicted to this testing stuff!:
Please don't use this for my results. Use it as a test reference for your own testing at best. I have a multifuel stove and can burn almost anything. I am not bothered by clinkers, Chute backups or burnpot clogging. I may actually be the wrong person doing these test's because of this. Please always try before you buy!
I am trying something a little different this time. Try to keep all the results on the 1st page of the test. I hope it works. I have 2 reserved at the end for future's if I find any. I want to try Dragon Mountain's, ProPellet, PA pellets, Northern and Lignetic Green Label hardwood only. I do have M&M and Quality One purchased if I can't find any of the others. I may also get some Tree Cycle and Uncle Jeds if things work out. Again time is tight and I have limited cash. I will get to them sooner or later.
I got most of these pellets pretty close to home. Tried to stay as local as possible. Most came from Burn Time Enterprises in bristol. The Turman and the Kentucky Kernel cam from CT Pellet. I couldn't make it to CJs in Enfield. I don't know if they sell by the bag anyway. I wish I could have hit more places! Burn Time Enterprises seems to have the best deal's lately. CT Pellet is still to rich for my blood! If I buy Turman this year, It will be from CJ's. The Barefoots and Okanagan's were donated by friends. I like DONATIONS!
This test is aimed at finding the Ultra hot pellets at an affordable price. Comparing this test with the other test that had a dozen or so candidates for the cold season pellets. Shoulder are easy for me to find. Just about anything is acceptable for my stove. Last year it was Turman at $265/ton(I bought a ton and split a ton with a friend) for the cold and O malleys at $240 for the rest of the season. I also scored(40 bags at $4.00/bag) some Premiers hardwoods(made by energex) at TSC for the shoulder season. My budget is similar this year so the price ranges are close. Probably looking at a 3 ton total purchase.
Link to the other "BIGBOX" test:

During a recent cold snap. I was burning the O Malley. Temps were very close to zero. And my stove was not raising the house temps at medium heat setting(3). Looks like my winter pellets heat has to be above the O Malley average temps. I was able to raise my stove setting to medium high and the stove was raising the temps. I prefer to run my stove on medium heat setting(3) and basically reduce the wear and tear on the stoves vitals. So I need to get my winter pellets at or above the 245ºF heat average to be sure I can get good heat in the very cold -20ºF extreme weather.

rob0075 said:This is an excellent test for pellets, Thanks!. I've been waiting to see your tests on the Turmans glad to see they are upcoming in your review, i want to compare them to barefoots. Again thanks!!
Meneillys Woodland Products said:What is the date code on the NEWP bags you are burning? It is located on the back of the bag in the upper left hand corner near the corner of the red line box. Should be a 4 digit number ex 9269. It looks like pin holes in the bag they don't use ink.
