I sold MWP back in 2009 when they first came out. It was a difficult situation, as they were not a good pellet to puit it mildly. When I realized that I was sitting on several hundred tons of sub-par pellets, I reduced them to $199 and was in no way afraid to tell customers why they were cheap and that under no circumstances, are there any returns. But, asI have touched on in previous posts, companies that make bad pellets will find one of two things happen; either they improve or they go away. MWP is still around. I do not sell them any longer but i will tell you that last year, I grabbed 10 bags of them to try and gave them a shot- strictly out of curiousity to try and quench my never-ending thirst for wood pellet info! They were not the same pellet that I was stumbling over back four years ago. They were like the nerdy girl in 8th grade that grows up and becomes a beauty queen! Burned relatively clean and relatively hot. Not the absolute best pellet but far from the bottom where they had once resided.
As they were headed up in the right direction, Cubex was headed in the opposite direction. My guess is that as MWP was on its way up, it passed and waved to Cubex on its way down somewhere in mid 2010 or so. Not to say Cubex is bad, as it is not, but it is not what it used to be in 2006 and certainly deviates from the quality that a top-priced bellet should display. Today, MWP vs Cubex would end in a fourth round KO victory for MWP. That's just my guess and my opinion.
