PA Pellets

Got any more info on the garden center? I haven't tried PA's yet but I may take a ride if there close enough.

Has anyone used PA Pellets? The garden center near my house has them for $225/ton. They are getting a shipment in on Monday, and I'm buying a couple of bags, but was wondering about getting some feedback on them. The guy I talked to at the garden center said that they have sold them for five years, and have had only two complaints.

One of the worst pellets i"ve ever burnt. Very dirty and low heat.

I seem to remember the same thing said about PA Pellets in the past....not good reviews, in general.

Billg, do they have any other brands? What else is available nearby?

I purchased 14 ton of these last year, got 2 ton left to burn. These are not the best pellet I've burned but the price was right last year at $199.00/ton. If I could get them for that price now, I would purchase them again. My boiler will burn just about any pellet I think so if I were you, I would buy a 1/2 dozen bags to test burn in your stove prior to buying any quanity of them.

They're $225 a ton for a reason...the garden center can't get rid of them. PA Pellets are some of the worst pellets I've ever burned. Low heat and very dirty.

Nope, that's all they carry. I got CJ's Pellet Depot in town and CT Hardwood Outlet 5 miles away. I have 4 ton of NEWP in the basement from CT Hardwood Outlet, but if I can find a deal, I got room for a lot more!

If you get a chance, stop by Phelps & Sons on Rt 30 in Vernon to see the pellets that they carry. That is where I get my pellets from. They are just around the corner from the junction with Rt. 31. I use "The Wood Pellet Co." premium hardwood pellets from Summerhill PA. From what I have read here the pellets are a little long by most other makers standards but my stove doesn't seem to care. I burned four bags of Okies late this fall and I had quite a bit more ash then from the ones I am burning. Wouldn't hurt to try them. Also a good dealer of wood and pellet stoves.

They will burn but lots of ash. Also last year there was a problem with a lot of the pellets being too long, and they would log jam in the auger chute. I still have some left and Im burning them right now. This time of year if you need pellets I think thats not a bad price.

I burning them now, yeah they long, and have a lot of ash , just like last years pellets and the year before (different brands)
