Never thought about that.
Might as well grab the softwood since you're getting the same weight it should be about the same BTUs anyway.
The great thing for me is I have what I call the chevy 350 of pellet stoves and it will eat about anything you feed it. I like to buy the bags that are damaged or returned, why not for half price or even sometimes a dollar a bag
. I only use a few bags a yr anymore. I bought 5 this yr and have burned what was left in the stove from last yr and 2.5 bags, we had a sitter here with the kids when we went to Niagara Falls so that made it easier on her/the kids to keep the house warm, small price to pay for a nice vacation for my wife and I
.
