Jeff Nichols from Great American sent this sample to me for testing.

I have added these to my watch out for list. Depending on local price's they could be a bargain! Well with in my scope of a good quality Premium grade pellet and the best chipped log pellet I have burned to date! Almost made the Super Premium ash level standard! I'm very impressed overall!

Note: These pellets were UPS'd to my door step. I am sure they were not easy with them and this could effect the fines level.

    I've burned all kinds of Pellets over the last five years even Tractor Supply Pellets and find that The Great American Pellets are the worse Pellets I've ever burned. I have two tons of them and just started burning 10 bags and trying to figure out what to do with the rest for I will not finish burning them in my Greenfire stove.

    I burned these last year. I agree with Jim. Gave off alot of ash. I also have a Harman stove. I also noticed that the heat output was not as good. I plan on sticking with Lignetics wood pellets.

    Pellets give off a lot of ash. I have a Harmon P-43 pellet stove. I have had to empty the ash container 2 times and I have only burned 19 bags of pellets.

    I just purchased a Quadra fire Mt. Vernon AE insert. This is my first pellet stove and I am trying to do things right. These pellets are sold locally. Are they the right pellets for my stove??? Thanks Jimmy

    I've been burning these pellets for 3wks. now I like them really good heat. I have Harman Accentra FS. If you you see these at your pellet supplier give them a try. I like them so much I picked up a ton for next year at a very good price.
