New England (MA, CT, ME, NH, VT, RI) Blazer pellets

Was wondering just the same thing.... I'd only heard of them further north.

I got some here in NY last winter, best pellet I've burned.
LOVE to find a couple ton this year

I just saw tons of Blazers in stock at the Waterbury HD. They weren't on display so they may be already sold.

I've had good luck with Chows this year.

Thanks dlavigne7324

Manchester still has some Blazers and another kind (forget what) at <$5/bag and I believe at $239/ton.

I'm surprised Blasers are still available great product Douglas fir and for $239 ton !!

Yesterday morning, but it was a partial pallet on the floor, so maybe that was the last of them.

Both Londonderry and Manchester Home Depot well stocked with FSU's

HD manager in Manchester told me they are free to order several brand names and will sometimes rely on customer feedback to guide their ordering. I had asked him about AWF's and he said they did have some but no customers offered any feedback so they didn't bother reordering. This probably helps explain why other HD's in the vicinity do have them.

Still NO Blazers?.. Was it just a one time thing at Northern New England Home Depot stores?

Last winter, after the polar vortex, and all the shortages, we got Blazers in Central Maine HDs. In the Spring, I told my HD that I'd like to pre-buy 5 tons of Blazers. They laughed and said they didn't know what they'd get. Then in the Fall, we started to see shortages as people were stocking up, and of course, then we saw Blazers again. From those two datapoints, I'd say if there's a pellet shortage, then HD's central ordering will scavenge the country for pellets, as shipping from Oregon can't be very cheap. My local HD has pellets year-round, so they have higher turnover, and are more likely to get pellets from all over. I do think it's a one-time thing, but that one-time happens whenever there is a shortage.

Glad to see the store Mgr. taking charge of their stores.
If we keep helping them, in the pellets they order, the better the pellet we have to buy.
WIN WIN FOR ALL
Good Luck
