Cape Cod, Ma
Was down to my last bag of Tractor Supply MWP's

Called June at J&S Trucking in Berkley, Ma. too see what she had.

Was looking for ton of Vermont's. She also had Okanagan Doug Fir "oh" I says.
Asked her if she had any loose bags of the Doug Fir. She said nope. Ton only.
Made the 45 minute drive up there from Cape and loaded the Vermont's.
While there, two guys had bought a 50/50 mixed ton of regular Okies and the Doug Fir.
I asked June if she would now sell a few bags to try out. She said ok.
So I ended up buying 3 to try.

Got home, unloaded the Ton +3 bags into basement.
Grabbed one of the bags of Vermont's and loaded the M-55.

What a difference!!!
Been burning shoulder season pellets for too long.
Forgot what a good hot clean burn looked/felt like.

Have to wait for a good cold night to try the Doug Fir.

Warm and toasty in the snow on Cape Cod,

Who is J&S Trucking? I live about 10 minutes from Berkley and know many residents in the town. It sounds like a nice deal you have going, could you elaborate?

Bearphishing,

J&S Trucking is the main Business name for Pellets-R-Us in Berkley

Run by lady named June.

They have great products for good prices.
And they usually have a good stock of pellets.

I usually buy a ton or two from her each year.

Marina,
Good to hear from you.
I never have good luck at South Shore.
They are usually out of stock of whatever I am looking for. lol

Rain and fog here this morning in Sandwich.

The Vermonts rock. Hottest pellet I have ever burned. Just wish they were more reasonably priced.
 
Like to add to the quality of pellets...
My first experience with pellets and I burned a ton of NEWP. Thought they were fine. Put in my first bag of Cubex this morning. What a difference already. No dust, no clumpy ash, beautiful flame. I know this is only one bag, but...

For people who are new to the pellet eaters this is exactly why so many say buy at least a few bags of multiple brands and see what the differences are because between different venting techniques and stove designs and then pellet types the variables are almost endless.
 
Anyone ever burn North Counrty or La Crete pellets before. Burning Barefoot now there great the burn nice and hot. Just heard this pellets burn a lot hotter then Barefoot and cheaper too.

Both are excellent pellets. Hot and clean.
