Anybody burn Blazer Doug Firs?

I burned Okie doug firs and LOVED them. At $360/ton they can go pound sand. I'll stick with my Barefoots at that price.

Saw a good price on Blazers though. Kinda sketched out on committing 6 tons to something I've never tried.

sounds ;like a broken record[ best I ever burned] but Blazers we're the best last year as far as low to zilch ash...
you will get 90% of stove owners here that will agree about Douglas fir blazers..
plenty hot too.

Which retailer and how much? You can get some at HD in the fall for $250/ton, try them out, and if you don't like them, go with something else. I grabbed 2 tons last fall. They are pretty good but I would take Vermonts over them.

Must be Pellets Direct.

You will not be disappointed with the Blazers. I bought 7 tons last fall and wish I had bought another 7 tons. Practically no ash and they burn HOT! Paid $219 per ton at HD, and hoping to repeat this fall.

Agreed. You will be hard pressed to find a bad review of Blazers. The price is a tough pill to swallow though. $319 sounds pretty good compared to the $360 Okie DFs are selling for around here, but not as good as the $225 - $250 price at HD and TSC. I'm puzzled how you never saw pellets at HD. I bought pellets multiple times at the HD stores in Oxford, Auburn, and Natick this season, and their price was $250/ton all season. Even lower with a coupon. Surely one of those stores must be near you? I don't think there is any such thing as an HD that doesn't sell pellets.

I have never seen them from this retailer before, and I wanted a few head nods from the masses that..."yeah, i've seen them....yeah they burn as you'd expect firs to burn"

You didn't do a search for Blazer threads, since there have been numerous discussions about them this past Winter. In general, they were considered a great pellet with little ash, as most DF pellets burn very thoroughly. They were a hot item since they were so cheap for a while at HD, $239, when the usual DF pellet is well over $300.
