     Overall Quality

   I have an 80 lb hopper on my older England pellet stove. Both bags of this brand together burn approx 1.25 days (closer to 1day below 30°) on low. BUT with the Lignetics brand I get a full 2 days and a little more. I had to purchase this brand due to a shortage in the other.
   This brand is being sold as a 40lb bag but weighs out at 31.6 lbs.
   The pellets burns.way too fast with not alot of heat (birch or ash maybe with a mix of pine?). The ventilation is up to and above par on my stove. But, the ash level is lower (which is nice).
   I’m not real happy with the bags. They’re way too easy to open and will pop apart if you don’t hold it upright. Heck of a mess to clean up lol.
   Overall, I won’t be buying this brand again unless it is the only kind available due to burn time, heat, and amount of weight advertised..

   Pros

   • Not many pros. Ash level is low though

   Cons

   • Weighs under advertised weight of 40 lbs (31.6 lbs).
   • Burns up too fast
   • Bag will open on its own if you don't carry it upright. Good bag for weeding tho.

   Not a bad pellet and decent heat but every bag was under packed by 2-5 pounds. I had some green supreme on hand and they were all 40. I think they under pack these and sell them to Menards and use their other brand Propellet for stores that pay more.

   Pros

   • Decent heat

   Cons

   • All bags of my 10 tons were 2-5 lbs underweight. They did not feel full either. Burnt these over the years and it's always been like this. Should be held accountable

   Good pellets in my stove. I have a large stove with 3 bag hopper and great air flow. I think smaller stoves do not move enough air through these pellets to make them burn hot

   Pros

   • I have tested many pellets in my Pelpro stove. It is an older model with actron controller. I had settled on Somerset Pellets as the best heat I could get. This year i could not find somerset's and purchased Magic Spark's. I have the largest flame i have ever seen low ash, and my heat range has increased by 70 to 100 Degrees at my stoves output vent. These pellets are incredible in my stove. I will say different pellets burn different in different stoves. These work perfect for me. All around good investment

   Cons

   • I have no Con's. At 7 degrees outside the house i am in would only get up to 67 inside with other pellets. It now stays at 74 and a few nights in the 30's i have turned the stove off because the house was at 80 degrees. That is on a 1 feed and 4 blower setting
