Hi I’m new here. I just ordered a new pellet stove today a Quadra-Fire Classic Bay 1200, And I just preordered 3 tons of Corinth hardwood pellets for $191.18. I went through the Maine Pellet Stove Owners Association.
cantral maine pellet burner here. just put in a napolean nps40 in my mothers house. i put this in after watching my father have his harmon p38 for 3 years and only using 600gal of oil last winter.
we are getting the pellets at lowes in auburn for 237/ton. these are good hardwood pellets from PA. they have a steady stream and wont run out i was told. but im stocking up mom for a couple of years, im done with 2 tons now getting 2 more next weekend. they are going like ho cakes though, they sold 28tons just this sat while i was getting mine.
people who think they will or have burnt more than two tons could you chime in on how big your house is and where the stove is located. dad has his in the cellar and only goes through 1.5-2 tons /winter…
watch out for pellets that have been outside for a while (like at paris farmers)
1.5-2 tons /winter is next to nothing. He must leave his on a minimum burn or only light it every so often. Just a guess, but I suspect most folks probably go through about 3-4 tons a year for every 1000 sq ft or so. Now if you’re using another heat source (such as oil), you’ll use less.

yea, this works with a oil burner. he usually sets the burner on 3 during the day and 4 at night. setting goes up to 6 (turbo)

Are they Energex, curious.
They are Green Team. I search online and did not find anything, therefore I did not buy them. Home Depot has or will have Pennington, however, there was a lot of negative stuff online about them, therefore I did not buy them.

I saw something about this in the Bangor daily weekend paper the other day and it sparked some intrest. All it said that a man started this association and was going to buy pellets in bulk and sell them at cost. It didn’t give any other information on how to contact the association though. I, just like most people from the area would definitly like more information on how to purchase pellets from this owners association. That is if anyone has any.

CB, where did you learn about the Maine Pellet Stove Owners Association? I am interested in learning more about it.

I bought 3 ton of Energex, know nothing about pellets. Stove has not been delivered yet, Vista Flame 100. After the heating season I will be able to report on the Energex softwood pellets. I read lot of bad and some good about them, I will know after 3 ton.
been burning green team for 2 years now, good pellets and nothing wrong with them unless they are outside for a while like others have that i have seen.
The man who started the MPSOA is Al Nygren from the Bangor area. Firestarter: Post his phone number here as it was in the article but I did not write the number down. Al is a great guy and would be square to do business with.
I can also vouch for Al. VERY good guy. Definitely a straight shooter and a pleasure to know. As of Monday I’ve heard that he has sold over 100 ton. He has printed out a brochure for the Maine P.S.O.A. I’m sure it is being circulated as we speak. The pellets Al will be getting are Corinth Wood Pellets. PM me if you need any other info.
dupjay21, I am in Brewer also. Just jumped on the bandwagon of getting a pellet stove. What do you have? How long have you been burning?
I live in Eddington. Bought a Breckwell P2700 last year, it burned really well for me, but wouldn’t heat my bedrooms (offset from the main living area over the garage) so I got an enviro mini for that area with my rebate check, will get it installed later this summer. When it’s installed, I won’t burn any oil for heating my home, now I need to figure out something for my hot water.
Glad to hear about the pellet association, I will be contacting Al later this week.
