The humidity went off the scale yesterday, so I decided to run a 'dry' test. At 4:30 PM, I loaded my AMNPS with 3/4 lb. (full load) of oven dried Cooking pellets brand hickory pellets and lit it. It is now 9:30 AM (17 hours later) and the pellets are still burning. And the humidity is still maxxed out.
This is absolutely the longest burn I have ever had. I think there are three factors at play here. I think humidity retards burn speed. I also think oven drying the pellets has an effect. And last, I believe having the damper on the 6 inch exhaust stack wide open allows for plenty of air flow.
That's my story an' I'm stickin' to it.
