   Total marketing BS. The brand claims these pellets 'exceed all industry standards,' but my experience has been the complete opposite. The heat output is lower compared to my usual pellets, and the ash level is much higher, requiring constant cleaning.

   As an extra 'bonus,' the fireplace window got coated in a tar-like residue that I cannot remove—the first time this has happened in my 20 years of using this fireplace. This was my first time buying this brand, and it will definitely be my last. I strongly suggest others avoid Mallard Creek and stick to a brand that actually delivers on its promises.

   I have been heating my home with pellets for over 25 years. I used this brand a few times last year with success. Used them this year and they are by far the worst pellets I have come across. Bad batch? They plug up the burn pot after a couple hours. Thought it was my stove. Did a complete clean with flue cleaning as well. Still quickly plug up burn pot. Used another brand and stove works fine. Hopefully I can return my other unused bags.

   Sorry to report that I just had to take off work and take my pellet stove apart to remove a rusty 2 inch nail that came in one of the Mallard Creek bags I've been using. I'm throwing the remaining ones out and buying something reliable
