Well I pulled the trigger and ordered the Country Winslow PI-40. I think I got a good deal. Stove + logset + remote control + full installation for just under 4,000. Supposed to be installed by Nov 15th. I can’t wait!

Now I have to decide on which pellets to buy. Said they carried Marth at about 3.70 a bag and the higher quality pellets for around 4.33 and up

Also said the Marth hardwood is on the bottom quality, Pine is medium quality and Douglas Fir pellets are the high end Premium Quality (Bear Mountain and Goldenfire if I remember correctly). Does this information sound about right and which pellets should I order? Will I be fine if I just go with the MARTH hardwood pellets?

Whew, way to go. Goldenfire should be good. Check around for all the options in your area.

Dumb question BeGreen. I have very few dealers for pellet stoves around me and the place I bought from is in the next state. How would I go about finding pellet supply locally? I went to Goldenfires’ home page but I didn’t see a dealer directory?

I never bought from the stove dealer. Call around to the previously listed stove sellers. Check with local lumber stores, grain and feed stores, home depot, walmart, etc.

Start a new thread. - That’s the best pellet supplier in the mid-west? Ask about what others in the Chicago area are paying. Sounds like it’s $180/ton in some parts of WI.

Also, this site may help:
