Wood Pellets Quality Testing

Our friends over @ woodpellets.com started preforming quality testing on all the wood pellets they sell. They do this by running each wood pellet brand through a battery of tests to assure they are selling quality wood pellets to their customers. They test the following attributes and parameters.
* Ash content
* Heating value
* Pellet fines content
* Diameter
* Durability
* Ash fusion temperature
* Chlorine levels
* Length
All tests are performed independently and at random from the plants production stream. Shown below are the most recent results. To find out more information on woodpellets.com and the testing preformed please visit their website.

Why would you remove a comment regarding "Your Friends" testing? I don't understand why the need to misled the consumers, that "Your Friends" are taking money from the goverment to build and put themselves over as a consumer watchdog. That's okay remove the comments here I'll continue to spread the word in my local paper and blogs that are controlled by Your Friends.
