Interesting question....Hamers Hot ones vs. Somersets

So in my down time while waiting for my stove to be delivered and installed (seems like forever) I have been pretty busy getting prepared. I think I'm pretty well set. Got the stove on the way, 2 Tons Somersets waiting , scoops, buckets, vacuum, power surge, even bought special glass cleaner. So I thought that I was pretty much set, that is until I came across a thread speaking about soft pellets. Don't ask me how I went from soft pellets to my next thing, but I started looking at the listed burn rates of the hotter pellets and decided to look up the 5 hottest burning ones and see if they could be found in my area. Wouldn't you know I found Hamers Hot ones and really freakin close to my house. Prices seem pretty reasonable as well. So my question is I know this is a Pro Somersets crowd/forum, but I have heard a lot of people saying how hamers were great as well. So given the choice of the 2 which would you choose and why?

Both pellets are very good.....it probably would come down to price for me. If the price was the same, I'd just split the order.

BTW, how much were the Somersets, and how much for the Hamers?

same here......Hamers are also bagged for TSC and others as hardwood heat, both burn excellent in my stove Hamers slightly more ash

around here Somersets 199 Hardwood Heats 179

Same here, Price would seal the deal. Both are the good stuff IMHO.

The Somersets I got for $209 per ton plus tax and $65 delivery fee the Hamers I can get for $295 ton but that includes tax and delivery. 3 tons or more they are $280 ton

There is NO sales tax on pellets in Orange Cty. If you got charged, take the sales slip right back & demand your $$ back.

You made me nervous. I just ran and found my receipt and I was wrong there was no tax. Just the delivery fee. So to break it down the 2 tons of Somersets were $209 plus $65 delivery= $241.50 ton vs Hamers at $295 for 2 ton or $280 for 3 w/delivery. $53 dollar difference or $38 if 3 tons

Go fer the Somerset's!!

Here we go. OMV is probably putting a caravan together as we speak.

dude i have my trailers all hooked up

about the same pellet, somersets might even burn a little cleaner you guys buying them for 209 are killing me

What are they going for by you?

i never saw somersets up this way for some reason they sent a fluke load they were 209 so i bought the rest
But they sell in Ct. for 269 i think?

OMV,... you need to borrow a truck that comes with friends,.. get some beer and drive down here and pickup 5-6 tons! LOL!

you dont want me down there ill takem all

......plenty to go around bud.. KIngston just got 22 more tons.
