I picked up 4 bags of North American Pellets from the local Lowe's last weekend. I have never seen this brand here before. My wife had the stove burning on the second bag of these and when I came home from work I smelled what I will describe as "sour" smoke. Very un appetiaing. I am so used to smelling the real smoke from the stove that it hit me like a slap in the face. It was definatley the pellets. My neighbor even commented if I changed the "wood" that I was burning, and that she liked the old one better
I also notice a whole lot more ash is produced by them as well as not as much heat, (digital thermo in air stream out of stove, recorded rather regularly). I have been using Prestos till now and am really happy with them,, stove chows were OK, but not as good as 2 years ago, Cheat river s**ked all around. Green supremes were Ok, but not as good as the Prestos.
