Just an observation about Pellets

I have done a very informal, non scientific experiment with my pellet stove this week. In the last several days I have burnt three bags each of "Maine's Choice", "Granules LG" and "Cleanfire Pacific". Obviously it would be a challenge for a home owner to measure the heat output but the ash content difference was dramatic. By far the least ash came from the Cleanfire Pacific. I mean it was the clear winner by a landslide. In the middle was the Granules LG and way back in the pack was the Maine's Choice. I would estimate the Maine's Choice had 10 times the ash content of the Cleanfire. Again, the difference was dramatic, much more than I thought.
