For pellet pigs looking to become even bigger pigs

[newf lover]

Came across a sale at CT Pellet at http://ctpellet.com while wasting time on the Internet. Have Hamer, Turman, and Barefoots for sale for $239. Don't know anything about the place, but I do know those are pretty good pellets. Just thought I'd share.

Nice find. Need to get something like this in NH area

I have purchased from Ct before. The owner scott is OK to deal with. Gets a bit grumpy at times but overall is a good chap.

Just wish he would carry some softwoods, Seems to be stuck on the hardwoods. But he does carry good brands, stores and handles his pellets very well.

I have no issue's when buying from him. Has decent delivery cost for those that need there delivered.

I am surprised he held out this long with out having a sale to be honest. I am sure the big box prices and low fossil fuel cost hampered his sales this year.

Make sure those Hammers are the Ultra premiums, Otherwise the barefoots are the ones I would go with.

I was on their site last week and he didn't have those deals then.........to me those are good prices for those pellets

 

[jtakeman]

I e-mail them and the indead have the Ultra Premiums Hamer Hotones.

My pick's in order
Hamer"s
Barefoot's
Turman's

But all three a very good pellets and are in my Top ten list! Save some Hamers for me!

Cleaned out my garage this morning and getting ready to stock up. I burned 3 bags of the Hammer red Hots just to see what all the hub-bub is about. Good pellet but I'm going to stick with my Turmins. Has anyone ever tried Appling country pellets?

 

[jtakeman]

Has anyone ever tried Appling country pellets?

Yes I have, Not a lot of heat and more ash then the 3 brands listed here. For the sale price of these 3 brands, The ACP would have to be real cheap to even consider them.

How much are the ACP going for?

$239.00 for Barefoots is a great price. Since they don't deliver to MA, I may have to make a little trip over the border.

Thanks for the info.

I have visited this site several times since the so called spring sale and have contacted them in disbelief of some of the high prices. I asked if these were the correct prices and was told they were. More recentely Ii emailed but recevied no response. Just wonder how all of these brands can be reduced so drastically in price. Can you say "price gouging"

....Has anyone ever tried Appling country pellets?

They are crappy pellets. I'd buy them if they were, like, $150/ton......maybe.

The Turmans are a real good pellet, and the Barefoots are a great pellet. If you can get the Turman's at a significantly lower price than the BF, get them. Otherwise, BF all the way.

As always, you should do a 2 bag test burn of each brand, but I think you'll like them both.

Thanks macman and jtakeman.
The ACPs were $235 perton and the turmans are only four more dollars. Sounds like a no brainer compared to the acps that you guys talk of.
Stay warm.

I just called locally to me, Turman's on sale at Valley Mason supply, Vernon, NJ $249 a ton free local delivery. Said he had 25 tons or so in stock. Good local supplier.

 

[smilejamaica]

free delivery ..... thats a good price for some great pellets

 

[vettechick]

I'm going to get Barefoots today for my brother in law. Picking up with my truck. 2 Tons at a time and I am hoping to make 3 trips. This is the best price for Barefoots that he can find. Hopefully the prices stay around the 239 for a while. What a difference a few months make. Chalk one up for the consumer this time

Vetchick.
you are the reason that pellet prices spike and drop. if everyone would just buy 1 ton at a time then there would never be a shortage, prices would remain low like they are here and it would be a win-win for all. nbetween you and your brother inlaw thats 13 tons and theres only 2 or 3 months of wiinter left. Slow down and let the market stabilize.

or do what i do buy when there is a good deal

I understand what Johnnycomelately is saying but it is much too unrealistic. When the prices are low, buy it up. Furthermore, a few posts back, Johnnycomelately was talking about becoming a pellet pig himself. Interesting. as I see it, if prices go up next year, vetchick will get the last laugh.
