I know most here are now burning pellets because of the price of corn. I don't think we will see back to prices of 5 years ago, but I also think the other fuels are going to climb back up and at some point make burning corn a competitive option again.

Right now we have people scattered among stove/furnace types talking about pellets/corn/cherry pits or what ever we are burning. No matter how different these burners are we have on thing in common and that's they need fuel.

I think John should make a single area just for talking about fuels, where we all in one place can rate, discuss quality, prices and availability.

It would still be somewhat segregated because of location but I think it would be a great help especially when discussing pellet manufacturers and quality of pellets.

There have been a few sites devoted to just this, but they come and go and by no means have rated 50% of the pellets available on the market. It's much faster for US the users of a fuel to rate it on a board devoted to multi-fuel burners.

I would also trust the members on this board to rate fuels more than I trust an unknown site.

Ditto. Would be nice to see what is burning good in which type of stove or furnace, and who has what available.

I'll throw my 2 cents in the ring:

Natures Heat - Baaaad pellets - Some had sooo much silica, left a brick in the burn pot. Tried again, they don't want to put out any heat, have to crank stove fuel feed way up to keep lit.

Magic Spark by Fiber Byproducts - Nice even pellet size 1 to 1 1/2", nice heat, not much ash or fines. Good Product

Country Boy - One of the best, size, ash, fines, heat output all top of the line.

Somerset - Also from Kentucky - the pellets I got from them this year are a little on the smaller side. Put out lots of heat, but seem to burn up so fast, because of the size, they feed faster???

I am only burning in my stove, Harman PC45. Way too warm out to fire up the boiler (LDJ 165K), and once I do, like to keep her running till March, then shut her down.

Have few bags of corn to mix in boiler, and goood corn in this area of southern Ohio this year, just way too expensive.
