Washington Crossing, PA
I'm trying to find pellet dealers with Premium pellets. I live in Washington Crossing, PA - right on the NJ border north of Trenton NJ.
Does anyone know of anyone within an hour drive? I've been using local big store pellets but I'd like to find some hot burning pellets for those cold days to come. THANKS!
 
Cozy Barn in WindGap should be in your range. They had Great American Pellets last I heard for @ 225-250 or so......I have not burned them yet but want to.
I am still burning thru my green bag Ligntetics and Blue bag Ligs as well as some clear bag Treecycle......so I will be keeping my eye on them for late winter/spring buys....
 
WoodHeat in Quakertown right on Route 309 sells Great American. They will be installing my Quadrafire Mt. Vernon AE insert later this month. I'm also getting a few tons of pellets delivered from them as well.

They also have location in Flemington, NJ right on Route 202. I am not sure if that is just a showroom or if they stock pellets there. That would be closer for you.

I believe the price is $239/ton. I was told in spring, off-season pricing is $200/ton.
 
There is a place in Allentown, I believe, that makes pellets. **Allentown, NJ** Can't think of the brand right now but I'll google it to see if I can find out the brand. They don't have any dealers, or didn't last year. They sell directly to everyone. I was hoping to try them out last year but they are about an hour south of me and I can get them closer by. I do hope to try them one day if I ever do travel down that way and remember.
 
Just googled *Pellets Allentown NJ* and their website is first on the list. notiecorp.com/woodpellets.html

For the amount of pellets I use per season I think they are a bit pricey for me but they could be a high quality pellet for full time users who want lower ash content/weight per bag. I would love to try just a few bags but last season I was told by them they only sell by the ton but I could come by and they would allow me to get just a few bags. If they are close enough to you and you decide to get them let us know how they burn.

I just realized why I wanted to try those bags last year, they are labeled as SUPER PREMIUM. I started a thread about these last season to see if anyone was using them but no one on here ever heard of them. Unless there are newbies on here now since last season that have tried them.
 
Wood Heat in Flemington does stock pellets. Another good one that is a little farther is Millers Egg Ranch on Route 512 in Bangor, Pa. They usually stock Barefoots.
 
E & E CHIMNEY they install pellet stoves they are located in Fairless hills but I think they only sell the pellets to the people that bought the stoves from them.They installed my mt vernon 3 yrs ago I would recommend them also if you are in washington crossing they are within 10 miles of you.I got 3 tons of american wood fiber from HD they seem to burn well with little ash got them for 197 per ton with a $75 delivery charge so $700 and your good for winter.

Jim - Are the Great American pellets considered Super Premium? Do folks feel they are one of the better pellets, hot burning for when it gets nice and cold out? Thanks!
 
Search for Great American Pellets or Powerhouse - same thing. Factory is in Palmerton PA. I believe people are finding them quite acceptable.

The factory is pretty sweet - very well designed. Same engineering company did the O'Malley plant. Maybe they'll give you a tour. Opened only in late winter of last year I believe.

The company self-describes them as "premium".
 
I found the reviews for the Great American to be pretty good. I am going to get 3-tons of it delivered with my insert to get me going.
 
I am burning Great American pellets in my new Ecoteck. I bought 2 tons from Wood Heat (Flemington). They seem to burn very nice, low ash, no clinkers. These pellets got an excellent review on that pellet review website, he really liked them and deemed them "near-super-premium. Very little ash and fines too.
 
Ray's Greenhouse in Telford sells Barefoot.
 
I'm burning Great American Pellets and my stove likes them. Not a lot of ash, NO CLINKERS! Below the Grid, my service guys toured the plant in late summer and were very impressed with them. I got 2 tons for $240 @ ton. Will probably get at least 1/2 - 3/4 ton before the winter is over. When I clean the burn pot out, there is nothing but some ash there. They burn completely up! Heat output is pretty good too.

Hope this helps anyone considering them.
 
Well, I've never burned the Hammers, but from what I see here from everyone, it would have to be the Hammers! And that would depend on my picky stove, IF it liked them.

But your Harmon should not have a problem with either one.

If given the choice.....Great American or Hamers Hot One's.......?

Both are good pellets, Hamers burn hotter due to size/density. But they also burn a bit faster(don't last as long overall). Great Americans produce less heat but burn slightly longer.

One equalizer out there is a thermostat. Adding a thermostat will only keep the stove on just long enough to warm the house. Hard to explain, But a hot pellet would require less time to bring the house temp up and in-turn the less hot pellet would require to be on a tad longer. In the long run the stat will equal out the burn time of the variables in the fuel. Your house only need X-amount of BTU's to warm it. One will just do it slightly quicker than the other. So either should last about the same amount of hours/days.

24/7 burners would need to reduce the feed rate with the hotter pellets to equal the burn length of the cooler burning brands.

Where the Hamers(Or any of the hotter pellets) have there shiny day is the extreme cold weather days. Days where the stove struggles against the heat loss of the structure. The faster you can produce BTU's the better. Hamers get the nod in the case senario!
 
I wish I could find some Hammers locally. OC, MD is just too far to go!!
 
Hamers Pellets are available at Butterhofs supply in Egg Harbor (probably a little more than your 1 hour distance). I recently purchased a ton there for $273 on 12- 28. Previous mention of Notie Corp pellets, I bought three ton from them in Allentown last season, they had none of their own. They were selling O'malleys. Have you tried searching Craigs List?
A search of these terms usually results in many listings..".Wood pellets"," wood pellet fuel"...or simply" pellet"
 
if you have a TSC (tractor supply corp) around you that sells "hardwood heat" the same as Hamer's just rebagged for tsc resale
