Heads up! Canadian Softwood Pellets Closeouts at Pellets Direct for good price.

Google the location, its just over the border from RI and very close to CT. You won't be in MA for long, drop down into RI and then head west. I've never been bothered in RI about overloading, and I'm a contractor, many miles hauling questionable stuff. RIDOT only cares about big commercial trucks. Air up the tires on the F150 and make the run! RT

Oldmtvernon says the same as I do.

THESE THINGS BURN HOT. If the ash is high screwit and clean the stove a day earlier. WELL worth the price.

Horse bedding LOL

So really why are these so hard to sell??? He's obviously had them for a few months and price is dropping every month, he's sold 4 tons in 2 months?

If they were $100, otherwise the cost of gas will be $40 in gas i'll just buy local for $200's, saw the map on google long trip down 44 from windsor locks, i'd only go if Jay would go too.....
Squier's is the farthest i'd go, did twice for those cheap Okies few years ago

That craigs ad was posted on 1/30, so there $150 , maybe monday they'll be cheaper, maybe they have moisture damage too

I asked that he said no they would be more.

Then again he told me horse bedding was more expensive than pellets. I haven't found that yet.

They're probably watching this thread. :lol:

Just fyi I will say this about their operation...He loaded a skid onto the back of the van. I said as it was going in that there was a bag of much on the bottom. He didn't hear me the first time. I walked over to the side of the loader and said it again to make sure he heard me. Without hesitation he put the machine in reverse, backed out, dropped it and grabbed another skid... Says alot about him. He's got more of my business.

It appears he's doing everything he can to cover the pellets. They're stacked on the ground then plywood put over them. Then another layer then a tarp.

Not sure this is proper and here's why I say this. The second skid was off the ground. Most all of the bags were "damp" to the touch. Not wet, not dry, but somewhere in between. Definitely more moisture on the bags, inside looked fine, the 2 bags I've burned so far have been fine inside. These things burn pisser mixed with okies. House is 69 right now with stove on 5 and it's 18 degrees out.

My F150 handles a ton with no problems, But I have the tow pack. What would get me is gas to go fetch them. I'd easily burn $25 bucks worth if not more due to the extra weight. I can get McFeeters at Agway for $199/ton less a $20.00 coupon. So it would be almost a wash. Burning them now to see how they do.

If they were in my back yard, I'd be on them. But once you add the expense of getting them. Kind of doesn't make much sense IMHO.

My truck is a 2002 F150, it does drop down a bit, used to use a 1996 F250HD and carry 2 tons in it....haha

I was watching the show Ultimate factories when they showed the 2012 F150's assembly line. They showed and stated they can handle 3000 LBS. Not sure I buy that, But found it interesting enough.

My 1990 F250 would haul 2 at a time, But it also sucked up almost 2x the fuel. On a good day I got like 8 MPG intown and 10 MPG highway. 12 MPG down hill if I was lucky! I get close to 16 MPG with average with the F150. ;-)

Yea i bought in 1988 a new F250 for hauling wood back in my wood burning days, with wood side racks i could stack in a full cord, Jay I work for Monaco Ford and I get to drive all the new trucks

Lucky dog! Mouch one for the pellet haul? ;-)

I'd love to drive the new Raptor! hint~hint. :cheese:

Tried McFeeters and Trebio side by side. Ash seemed similar. The informal BBQ thermometer test of the hot room air says the Trebios burn considerably hotter. The McFeeters also left me with an almost 4x2x2 inch clinker filling the burn pot after an overnight burn - and that's the first large clinker I had after burning 4 tons of other pellets. Trebios do burn a bit dirty in my stove (but they're still an improvement in heat over the Corinths I was mainly burning).

set the stove to manual high last night since they forecasted 20's overnight set it to 74 and no problem at all for these pellets Their hot Love the flame consistent bright and powerful Not a spot of black on the glass yet ( cleaned it last night and vacumed before loading them in ) This morning i set it to Auto to see if the glass gets blackened.
Thanks to Hdawg for posting sweet deal. My only concern is all outside storage so at that price my first question was did they get wet
I didnt count but he has to have over 30 truck loads in stock. These are wrapped better then any pellet i used so far 2 maybe 3 complete wraps and 2 bag covers in the mix. The pallet i opened was bone dry but i didnt watch where he took them from i was to busy looking around he has ALOT of pellets The 2 bags i used had no fines granted they were from the top of the pallet i guess once i get into the pallet the fines will start showing up, maybe i will dig one out from the bottom, but i doubt it im lazy lol dropem into the garage and pallet jackem around. thats why i only buy by the ton But i have a feeling when Spring hits they will get moved to the basement unless i build or buy some type of outdoor shelter
To bad its cash and carry if they would deliver i would take alot more All in all like i said very nice people. nice enclosed forklift too placed the first pallet right in place at the front of the truck without the need to slide it forward with the next pallet, extended reach, i liked that
They have a nice setup inside bags of pellets lined up on display all opened so you can do your touchy feely test Oh best part of the trip, i looked over and said ohhh you have barefoots i gotta try those He threw a bag into my arms i was like a kid in a candy store.
Thanks to pelletsdirect in Uxbridge Ma for a good experience

Thanks OMV, Nice post! Love the touchy feely part. Let me guess you touched them all right! ;-) hehe

well its been 24 hours since i loaded these results not scientific just visuals... loaded 2 bags in woke up 74
all day long on auto instead of manual 75
not much fluctuation in temp held steady
the big deal is the upstairs 71 !! hard to heat bedroom 66 !( normally61) 66 is perfect for me there
pellet useage 1 1/2 bags outside temps overnight 20's todays high was 37 not to shabby imo granted im heating almost 3k sqft
I heard about high ash and clinkers so far im not disappointed in the amount of ash and havent seen any clinkers
Overall i am very happy i wish it would have been in the teens thats where the true test is for me

oh did i mention price? you cant even buy infernos this cheap

Me it's been since 8 yesterday am. I cleaned the stove at noon today. It's been 4 days with only one center ash pan empty yesterday am.

Center ash pan was almost full not quite, ash is this funny colored brown. Really wierd color ash. Never seen ash before out of anything I've burned or even see pics of here. Almost a creamy mid tone brown. Something like you might paint a wall with.

The ash is very fluffy. It's light. Regular amount of very small clinkers exact same as the infernos mixed with okies.

I think the real trick to these to eliminate clinkers that people have talked about here is to mix with a superpellet like an okie in a 25% okie mix. Gets rid of the clinker almost completely. I could have gone another day.

Took a nice nap this afternoon in front of it on 5 :cheese: Glass is still very clear in the middle and just starting to haze on one side in a small spot. So that's 6 hours on high with minimal glass accumulation.

OMV we gotta do that again

anyone know what makes a brown ash like that?

I love the smell in the basement.

GO PATS

You guys going back for more tomorrow? They open at noon. I'll call and check on price for them and report back. I probably should have picked up some. Would make a great cheap shoulder pellet or just for my second stove. I'm burning Bayous in there now with not too much heat and lots of ash. Trebio should be better based on what everyone is say.

the special ended saturday the rest are gone to a horse breeder

Too bad their gone. I like 'em, ran them in a dirty stove last night, burned well, good heat. Cleaned stove today and fired up again, even better, yes they are a bit dirty but the heat output is comparable to the Geneva's I've been burning. For $150 a ton I'd buy again and again. RT

I call bs they're not gone.

i have burned trebio all winter still have 40 bags left.heat output just as good maybe a little better that the main brand sold here eastern embers. walmart here in atlantic canada has been selling them for $4.67/bag all winter vs $5.49 and $5.99 for other brands. will put up with the extra ash as long athe heat output is good.

Salty i thought thats what you said? after saturdays sale the rest were gonna be gone ? gonna check

I'll call them when they open today. If I can't get them on the phone, I'll just take a drive down and see if they gone. They've been trying to dump these for a good month now. First at $225. Don't think they sold many at that price. Then two weeks ago at $175 but as horse bedding. He had about 24 tons left at the time. I don't believe they sold them at that price, or a lot which is why the newest blowout price of $150/ton. I don't know how much horse bedding normally costs but if they go any lower then $150/ton then we'll be crazy not to buy him out! I'll see what I can find out when they open.

5 skids left and I'm going down for another right now

$150 a ton still. Cash and carry.

i made the trip out there today.had my 12ft box truck which has all my plastering gear.grabbed 2 ton of trebio and man was my truck squattin.just waiting for my helper to get off the school bus so we can load them in the basement.i called this morning at 11 and was told it was just a weekend special.told her i was already on my way and she said thats fine we will have them for ya when you get here.as of 12.30 today he had probably 12 ton that i saw.
as OMV mentioned,great people to deal with.i was in and out in 15 mins.will post results once i burn a few bags
