Maine, ayuh, by gorry
Saw on the news that the Corinth mill got a grant for around $120,000, hoping to expand and add a dozen jobs, keep yer fingers crossed.
 
Hoss,
Have you used the Corinth hardwood pellets this year? I had some last year and the ash was terrible. Wondering
if they got that sorted out.

I know this question was for hoss, But I burned some of the latest batch and was impressed with them. Heat is pretty darned hot and the ash was exceptable.

Very impressed what I now see coming from the state of Maine pellet producers! :)
 
We have some Corinth pellets from last year that we're burning & while they have more ash than I'd like to see, the stove doesn't have a problem burning them. So for the pellet to burn well and not create stove problems, I'll put up with some more ash & extra cleaning as these pellets are readily available in our area.

Sorry for the delay, toadstool. No, haven't burned any this year. Last year's seemed to burn OK, but I found them to smell really bad, other people didn't, but whatever. Price was about $25/ton higher than MWP around here, so didn't pick up any to try even. Maybe next year.
 
Anyway to determine (before buying) good corinths from the old corinths?
 
Just a guess, but probably anything you find now is pretty new.

I'm unsure of that. I just bought two bags from a supplier that claims he obtained them from a hearth company that went out of business. They are burning now. It's not very cold here but but they will hardly flame above the pit on heat setting 6 in the shpep. Guess time will tell.

Hey, like I said, just a guess.
 
Somewhere on the bags I thought I saw a date. Pretty sure its just the date the bag was printed but????

I don't have any bags to confirm.
 
It says on the rear of the bag in a dot matrix print:
9409 09 181 1343

Does that mean anything to anyone?
