I just bought a Harman pellet insert (P35I), not as decorative as the Accentra, but very efficient and about $1200 less. I've heard in the past "get quality pellets and stay away from the big store pellets". What is the badness that turns everyone against the lower cost pellets? is it the increased frequency of cleaning due to the higher crud content? Is it heat output?

I'm not trying to cheap out, we got the stove for a lot of reasons, one of course is to reduce the oil bill, just trying to understand what constitutes "bad".

thanks.
