Looking for Okies in my area.

We've been burning Cubex, and nearing the end of 2 tons - Rocky's is selling Cubex at $289, and looking to maybe save a few bucks but keep some quality. I can get Energex from Knight's, which I might try, but curious if anywhere sells Okies in the area.

Thanks!
 
as far as i know, SIB wood pellet warehouse carries those.
they are in north jay, and deliver almost anywhere.
 
I've bought Oakies at Rocky's before. I don't know if he currently has any. I know he's selling La Cretes now and claims they're very close to Aokies. I bought 6 bags of Cubex earlier this month and wasn't impressed at all. Seemed ashy and the ash was very dense.
 
Well I don't want to spend more than I purchased the Cubex for. I think I'm going to go and buy a few bags of the LaCrete's to test them. I'll report back (although I don't have any fancy testing equipment).

You can get Oakies for $10 more than the Cucex DELIVERED from SIB.
 
I just bought 4 bags of LaCretes this morning, cleaned out my stove and dumped them in. Depending on how well they burn, I may be purchasing a ton. I will report back my findings.
