Wood Pellet testing and comparison

6 types of wood pellet fuel tested and compared. Pellet stove Burn time test 6 brands of hardwood pellets. Does pellet brand make a difference? Does a more expensive bag of pellets burn longer/hotter? We did this test comparison of burn time, heat, remaining ash, price per bag, price per ton, packaging, etc. This comprehensive test (with spreadsheet data) was completed over a number of weeks, burning bags of wood pellets in our Harman P68 pellet stove in January in northwest Pennsylvania, with temperatures in the low teens (Fahrenheit). Our pellet stove is in a great room, 20x40 (800 sq ft) with 16-foot vaulted cathedral ceiling. It's a large space to heat, and has 3 external walls, full of windows. #pelletstove #test #heat #woodpellets #purplecollarlife
We tested the following:
Green Supreme from Tractor Supply
Agway Premium Wood Pellets from Agway
EasyHeat from Rural King
GreenGold from Rural King
Hamer's Hot Ones from Agway
Lignetics Premium Plus from Ace hardware
