    What on earth are these reviewers smoking!? These are by far the worst pellets I have ever purchased. That’s saying something because I’ve owned my stove since 1991 and while I typically bought Lignetics because they were recommended to me by the dealer, (and without a doubt, the best ) they are getting to be very difficult to find so I have switched to several other brands over the last 10 years and they’ve all burned well. These are unbelievable, I’ve never seen anything like it, they are very difficult to start (I’ve actually started using an accelerant which I’ve never had to do in the past ) , and they are still hard to get going. That’s just the start of things, once they do get going, they burn filthy. I have never had the glass on my stove this dirty in literally one bags worth of operation. They are incredibly inconsistent, one minute the flame is roaring the next minute you barely see a glow and it almost goes out, & they also create an incredible amount of ash. I would say four times the amount of the other brands that I’ve used. I am done, if this is the only pellet out there I will literally throw the stove away because I will not deal with this anymore,. Unfortunately, I purchased a ton of these things and I’m about ready to throw the remainder of them in a bonfire out back.

    There are no “pros”

    Disliked

    Horrible consistency of the length of pellet. Some are nearly an inch and a half long!
    A ton of disintegrated pellets, almost as if they had gotten wet, but the bags were completely sealed and covered at the store, where I purchased them. I could probably go on, but I’m running out of space for my complaints

    Not impressed this what the local store was carrying so I gave it a chance. Compared to goldenfire from last year this pellet “feels” like it puts out half as much heat. Lots of broken up pieces and low quality looking pellet. Quite a few clinkers too, not impressed.
