I hope you aren't asking because you want to purchase some.........................................
Actually I do. I got 20 bags early in the season while I was waiting for my orders to come in and they burned hot and clean, by far better than anything Ive been able to get around here now. The only pellets available in my area right now are forest pride, which burn messy as all heck, blazers, which dont give off anything for heat and future Fuel II which I havent burned enough of to really evaluate.
For some reason the supply's dried up here in the Merrimac Valley

This is odd - I have seen Pennington's at WalMart and was afraid to buy them after seeing the reviews they got.
Sams's in Concord has them as well. Bought 15 bags and was not impresed. The ash was very sooty. I have a direct vent system and using Penningtons caused quite a bit of black ash to accumulate on the snow where the stove vents. This did not happen with the other pellets that I have been using.
Before opening up my next pallet of CleanFire pellets, I decided to burn a few bags of Pennington Nature's Heat that I bought from Home Depot a few months ago. Junk. Junk. Junk. Total junk. 4 of 10 bags are mostly dust. It's easier to just pick the surviving pellets out with my fingers, rather than screening out the fines. I'm too lazy to return them. This sawdust will be going onto my driveway after the snow tonight.
I bought some penningtons at a Walmart in central mass and they were the best pellets I burned this year. Good heat, low ash, some fines but not unusually so.
We started burning wood pellets last winter and have tried several different brands(Energex, Fireside, Pennington). So far we have concluded that (with our stoves) Pennington(Natures Heat) gives better heat, seems to be less ash, we do get that"clinker" but it hasn't been much of a problem for us. The biggest issue we have is they seem very dusty. The last pallet we bought was in spring '08 from Home Depot in Bangor, Maine (lot # VA-040308-0062)
I bought Natures Heat pellets at Sam's and they are very good. A lot better than the other brands I have tried.
I bought 2 1/4 tons last month at Walmart for $280.00 with tax they burn better than last yrs. and look like heaters pellets but as hot as heaters. Very little fines in the bags I am using now.
Jester, walmart had them a few weeks ago in avon. Ive tried them they were ok. Nothing beats the Barefoot so far, for me.
