    Nice to see some pellets coming IN to the U.S. I read somewhere that we exported over 160 Million Tons of pellets last year, mostly to the EU. I even heard there was a German company that bought a mill of some kind in Texas and is converting it to produce wood pellets for export. Next time we have a shortage you can thank the pellet manufacturers that care more about exporting them out of the country than helping out fellow Americans. If you think about it logistically it makes more sense from a business standpoint. Make the pellets, dump them in a container, ship them overseas, get paid. A lot easier than putting them in bags and shipping them all over the U.S. in trucks and trains. I guess in this Global Economy it is all about the bottom line, too bad for us.

    Sounds like it was worth the ride.

    The 2 bags are for a review you knuckle head! I also buy tonnage to fill the stash. See if I give you pellet advice every again! :sick:

    Post your pictures and your thought on how they burn, But I'm betting its the best $150 clams you've spend in a long while! Why don't you sneak off and poick up some more? ME and the boys will pay you a little visit while you off getting the next batch. We might even stay and help you unload em(right in to my pickup)! :cheese:

    Did a little researching, read some reviews................lots of ash and some clinkers. Not posted on this sight so may not be reliable sources. ;-P
    But for $150/ton you could always mix'em with something better and still be ahead money wise.

    Jay if you can figure out how to get a bag to you I'd be happy to donate a bag for the cause.

    I gotta say this was a score. I'm watchin that stove like a HAWK right now. It's on 4 and it's so hot I can touch the top in front of the hopper. That's a trebio/okie mix

    So he says now they're going to be sold as "horse bedding" next week. Interesting. See how much they sell for now. These are not bad pellets at all. Trebio has quite an investment into their product.

    Wish I had gone back for more now. Couldn't get back before they closed I tried.

    Well, I went to PelletsDirect today and grabbed a ton of the $150 specials. They are Trebio's from Canada. Look a little dark and some fines in the bags. I have some in the Lopi right now and they seem to burn just fine, supposedly they produce a good amout of ash but I'll have to let you know in a day or so if that is the case. Even if it is I don't care, the price is too good to worry about a little extra cleaning. RT

    $150 is as good as the Natures Heat price i got few years ago at Sam's, I'd buy a ton and I have Monday off due to possible SB hangover, but there not open till noon, and driving a F150 sagged out all thru Mass is not a good idea, be a real costly trip if bagged for overloading

    He was trying to sell them as "horse bedding" before this blowout sale at $175/ton. Link below for the CL listing. Wonder if the price will $150 or back up to $175/ton come Monday.

    I'm sorely tempted to pick up a ton. Do prices get any better then this, even during spring sales? I've been paying for $274 to $304 per ton but that's supposedly for the "super premium" grade pellets.

    Nope! Your on my poop list now!

    Just poking back! :cheese: Its all good buddy. Glad you filled your stash and I hope they burn sweet! What a steal!!!!! ;-)

    I'll find some somewhere, If not we can meet at upton someday! Maybe we can trade for something? A pellet I can get you might not be able to. Pellet swaps and member meets are fun! Now I expect a full report on your burning experience of the Trebio's! ;-)
