    I'm in Winsted, I get most of my stuff from the Torrington stores(Agway-Lowes), New Hartford(Home Cheapo) and Barkhamsted(TSC). Good pellets come from CTpellet or BT Ent in Bristol. Local HD has had PTL most of the season. Saw only FSU in the early fall. I haven't checked in a month or so. They might have SC now?

    I have a couple a buds that travel a bit. They bring me what I can't get local but its only a few bags here and there. A couple of members have also traded a few brands I couldn't find.
    CTpellet and BT Ent were donating samples when they can. CT has a couple that I need to pickup one of these days.

    Heck I even had mills drop ship some right to my door steps. Not so much since WPR has been doing his reviews. Mills have been sending the samples to him instead. Probably a good thing as I don't have the time I had a few seasons back. Work keeps me a bit busy these days.

    Brilliant! I remember those MWP with the log cabin and how dirty and puny in heat they were. Would love to try the softwood pellets but with HD loaded with FSU and SC @ $209/ton, at the end of the day, after all, they're all just wood turds.
