    Very neat video. I have this fantasy about starting a pellet plant. Where do you even BEGIN to sort through that process?

    No yellow "pellet making for dummies" book out there yet.

    Quite an investment.

    That was a good story!
    I found a dealer for these pellets 5 miles from my house.
    I put my name in for 4 tons. She said deliveries are every other week.
    $295/ton

    Yes it is high.
    All dealers in this are are about the same.
    Hopefully next year and beyond prices/availability will settle down.
    Burning pellets is a long-term commitment not just for this coming Winter.
    Oil is around $3.60/gal here right now.

    Dysart's in Bangor carried them last year. I don't think they have them this year though.

    I got 4 tons this spring.I will have to get 2 more by the end of the year. Burned them all winter last year they are great pellets. I think they are better than the energex or penningtons I have used. They are almost as good as the cosy comforts I can get sometimes.

    Sounds Good!
    I called the distributor this morning.
    We should get them in 2-3 weeks.
    She told me that they are "Premium" 80% Hardwood 20% Softwood
    Anxious to get them in the basement before Old Man Winter knocks on the door.

    From what I've seen on some of the other threads, old man winter is just about to turn onto your driveway.... :lol:
