Kents just dropped the price of the Comfy Cozy brand down to $4.99 a bag, I threw 30 bags on the back of my truck as I was passing through St. Stephen coming back from the States....they may not be the best brand but my stove seems to burn them okay and what the heck they are all going up in smoke anyway....
 
Has anyone seen these pellets being sold in any of your local stores? These bags are packaged in 33 lbs bags and they claim that you get the same burn as the 40 lbs bags because of new technology that they are using to produce these pellets???...

Very interesting! Love to read about the new technology there using. Can you post a link to there site?
 
I would also be very interested to read about their "new technology".

Sounds like you could get TrulyBurned if you take that statement at face value.

Where is BTU when we need him?? Must be sleeping late . . . .Oh, wait . . . .He is on Arizona time . . . .

Sorry, was in the pool and having to work on my tan this morning......

Never heard of this brand and am not aware of any "New Technology" except for torification, but am not aware of anyone doing that commercially in North America yet.

The busy seasons a coming and you are worried about your tan??? Hmmmm! :p

I found this but I don't think its related to the Trueburns!

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - April 19, 2010) - Green Energy Resources (PINKSHEETS: GRGR) is developing a 10,000 BTU wood pellet using a high energy woodchip. Working with a Dutch partner testing is underway in Europe converting the woodchips into pellets. The pellet is designed for co-firing with coal for the power generating industry. 51% of American electric power is generated from coal. American power companies are currently conducting various co-firing tests nationwide. Most wood pellets contain only 7500-8500 BTUs of heat energy. The new pellet represents a significant breakthrough in technology and the first super energy pellet for commercial application. Successful testing would lead to commercial distribution in 2011. Green Energy Resources has received at least one commitment to test the new pellets as soon as they are available. Scientific lab test results are expected in May.
 
"Torification" sounds like something one would do to earn 5 to 10 ( years) in a maximum security correctional facility.

The guy that did the grass pellets for imacman, schoondog and myself. Does it with his left over grass pellets and I think he calls it green coal? I have a hard enough time with pellets to even try to get into that! But they use the pellets in gardens once torified.

If this link is correct then they are not into as new a technology as they claim, with btu's of just higher then 8,000 then they would be comparible to the rest of the market. Looks like they are just an up and coming company starting out.

http://www.tradekey.com/profile_view/uid/1726124/Canadian-Lumber-Company-Ltd.htm

Looking at the link it states ash level less than 5%, I sure hope they meant less then .5%

If you do burn some please let us know how they go. I have gotten some nice pellets from up north!

There is "no claim" made by this company in print or by word of mouth from them that smaller 15 kilogram bags (33 pounds) equals the same output as a 40 pound bag. Yes the bags are smaller,but easier to handle....thats all. I just bought some today,have used them before last year,they give good heat and are as good as any premium pellet out there. At $4.50 a bag presently,they rank in price when you figure it out,being in the ballpark of the others,give or take a little. The email address of the company is on the bag...if anyone wants to verify what I say,I will provide it.

Another picture of some of the girls from the office just hanging out after a long day booking all those pellets orders.....came over to work on their tans too.....

Gee, wonder if regular folks can post pics like this in this forum???

pete324rocket, Thanks for clearing that up, You would figure if the had a super pellet or something special, They would have the info right on the bags!
 
They have posted on Kijiji in the Fredericton area and I quote

" TRUEBURN PREMIUM WOOD PELLETS"


"Trueburn Premium Wood Pellets 15kg/33lb bags. 70% Hardwood 30% Softwood The new 33lb bags burn almost as long as the 40lb bags.

For pricing Call Canadian Lumber Company Ltd at 453-9126"


So it may not be a direct claim but they sure were pointing in that direction

Sounds like "Canadian Lumber Company Ltd" was the one making that claim, Not the Pellet manu.

How many bags do you get in a ton?
 
still sounds like snake oil claim to sell their pellets. if same price as 40lb bag and heat output not proven i would pass. they would have to burn hotter than lignetics for me to buy them.
 
The persons/people making the claim are NOT the manufacturers. The pellet mill is in Hillsborough Albert County....a long ways from Fredericton. Kijiji is a place where you may get what you pay for...and you might not.That should be a given.

One would hope 61, otherwise it's false advertising.

As for the statement "The new 33lb bags burn almost as long as the 40lb bags".....yes, that would be absolutely true. :roll:

unless of course they mean "metric ton", the plot thickens.
 
Wal-mart in Moncton selling pellets from Winnipeg I think it was for 5.97 or something like that a bag. They sold pellets last year as well and I told them several times to bring them in but I was hoping they would bring some competition in the prices...but not at 6 bucks a bag.
 
I used an on-line BTU comparison tool a few years ago and determined that at $5.50 per bag, oil was the more economical choice over pellets.

I hate to say that for all of the environmental reasons we all know, but you have to draw the line at some point. I've got three pallets out in the shed (spring deal at $4.50 per bag), but once those are gone I'm back on oil unless the Canadian prices come down.
 
maybe prices are gonna drop or stores just matching?is there piercys stores in new brunswick.? pierceys $5.47 here. rona was $4.99 if pierceys is staying at $5.47 home depot will beat it. customer service told me at home depot.
 
Kent's in St. Stephen is now sold out of the old stock Comfy Cozy and the new shipment won't be in till the first of October with the price back up to $5.49 a bag.....
