Maybe we could order some and have it dropped off in ct? But by that time will Prolly be as much as anyone else?
 
If anyone has a good truck and trailer or a box truck or something and wants to make a road trip out of it, i'll gladly ride shotgun. Time i have. I can work from my cell phone :D Nick sent me a pm with a very sweet offer, and if only i had the equipment to do so, I'd be on my way out there tonight. Probably a 14 hour ride, give or take. it's about 10-12 to pittsburgh from here. I'm in for 3 tons. if someone else is in for 3 and maybe 2 more people if the truck can pull it, we could probably do this for around under 180/ton to CT after our fuel costs/etc for a 24 hour power drive stint. i've done it, and have no problems doing it/switching drivers/etc/etc.

Well...I was about 50 miles from their plant on Wednesday.... but I had some scrap paper to pick up.

If any Wisconsin pellet pigs would like to discuss a truckload buy I'd be in...not sure if we could work out the details...
 
If I didn't already have 2 tons I would be thinking about a road trip. That is an awesome price for good pellets.

I get home from work and there is this big package on my Steps. Nick sent me 2 bags to add to this seasons testing so we could see how they burn.

Thanks Nick! :)

I will include them in the 2010 testing thread and I will post the results here too!

No shame at all......................... ;-P

Only shame I have is I can't get any more of them! Crying shame. :-/
 
gotta figure some fines were from the not-so-normal ups shipping to your house too. on a fresh pallet, i imagine there would be much fewer due to less shipping damage.
 
ha ha ha. I don't blame you. I wonder how they burn down here in Georgia??????????????????????????????? We need some competition!!!!!!
 
Jay, Thanks for doing the testing, its much appreciated back here in Southern Indiana. We have had people asking where we have dealers at, unfortunately we have very few. Currently the dealers carrying our product is Atwoods stores, located West of the Mississippi, ZDE in Flat Rock IL, and a few smaller stores here in Southern Indiana. We have had some dealers interested in Michigan and Ohio but nothing permanent yet. We would love to pick up more dealers so if anyone's interested don't hesitate to call. Our price on our website is the price we sell them here at our Manufacturing facility and does not represent our Dealers. Thanks everyone for their interest and thank you to the forum that is giving me a much better insight into the pellet industry each day.

On a side note I hope to have my Harman XXV installed in the next couple of weeks. Only a fool such as myself would decide to build a house when the government was paying people to buy one.

Thanks
Nick
 
If this "truckload" thingy comes about to the northeast I for one might be in for 3-4 ton. Anyone.....Beuller...Bueller
