I ran a ton of the Purcell pellets last year through my Harman Advance stove. They worked fine. This year I bought two tons. The very first bag of the new pellets jammed my stove whereupon the stove shut down with an error light flashing. It seems Purcell had a broken machine aroind the date code of 01419 resulting in way too long pellets. Some are over two inches long! They jam out in the feeder chute. The stove will not run for more than 15 minutes before it shuts down. I have to pour the pellets onto a tray and break them up. But they still do not feed correctly. They seem to have a slight stickiness to them. They just do not tumble down easily. It’s like they are stuck together. lignetics pellets work great. They easily tumble down. The Purcell pellets clump together and jam up. Yes I cleaned the stove several times. I contacted Purcell and they just said oh well, we did have a problem back then. I will never buy them again.

I've used "Canyon", "Mountain " "Log---s", but have never burned such a great product. THANKS.
I’ve used “Canyon”, Mountain”, and the rest but these are so far and away better. Thanks.
