Does anyone have feedback I found a dealer 35 miles from my house. wondering if they are worth the trip

Thanks
 
One of the best pellets there are in New England.

I love 'em.

Can't say enough good things about them.

Wish they were available closer to me and of course a bit cheaper.

But they are probably what I'll be burning in Jan-Feb.

They're my favorite!
 
I agree with all , just burnt my 1st bag of VWP last nite , very hot low ash , had to set my EP25 from 3 to 2 house was a July heat wave.
 
I burnt a ton last season. The heat was good with low ash. My only complaint was that the Vermonts left a film of like fine dust that was stuck on the inside of my stoves hopper. It actually took some effort to get it off when I pulled the stove out at the end of the season. I would probably try them again. Maybe a bad batch, most pellets change a bit every year.
 
An added obsevation and this is true with most pellets , the VWP are smaller in size than lets say LG granuals which im burning also ; they are both 100% softwood , but the VWP burns hotter than the LGs because of the smaller size more pellets are able to fit in the auger screw cavity verses a larger pellet consequently feeding more to yur fire pot
 
Love vermont wood pellets, I get them delivered in bulk. 70% less ash than most pellets and they definitely burn hot! I agree with the comment about residue left on the hopper walls. They also do not slide very well and you have to manually push them down. Well worth it though!
