Pellets Needed - What would you choose?

[Joe B One925]

Hey All,

Hope everyone is having a fine winter burning. I am running a bit low on pellets (30 bags or so remaining). I was looking to get another pallet of pellets.

My setup is a 25-PDVC, which is putting out good heat from my Okanogan Gold. I was hoping the Gold's were going to put out more heat that they are, but they do burn super clean!

The supplier I was looking at currently has 4 brands left in stock.

Would folks be able to chime in and let me know what they would get? I'm looking to get the lowest ash with the highest BTU.

Since this is my first year burning I'm still learning as I go, so I thought I'd see what the fine people of this forum think

Thanks!

If you check out the thread on opinions for pellets , I think it'll give you a pretty good idea .

Go to pellets direct there in uxbridge.. Lots of choices plenty of stock

 

[Joe B One925]

I looked online at that place... They do have a lot of choices... A bit expensive though ...

 

[Chrisnow86]

It's worth the money to know they have them instead of the pellet hunt calling all around.. I had the green golds from there and I ran my stove half the speed.. Burned a lot less fule to keep the house warm

 

[Joe B One925]

Interesting ... There's another place near me that have blazers... I was considering those ... Did you notice a lot of ash with the green golds?

 

[jamespro]

Fully recommend the blazers. Ran several bags through my pdvc and they were really hot and low ash. Whats the price on the blazers?

 

[Chrisnow86]

I really liked the green gold tons of heat.. Decent ash

I got the blazer at Home Depot for $215

 

[Joe B One925]

They're looking for 345 a ton for the blazers ... Plus another 35 to deliver...

 

[jamespro]

Oof. $345 seems pretty high....

 

[Joe B One925]

That's what I was thinking too...ugh

 

[Chrisnow86]

I got lg softwoods today for 299.. My englander is loving them

 

[Joe B One925]

Where in ma Chris?

 

[Chrisnow86]

Pellets direct in uxbridge

 

[Joe B One925]

Interesting... Did you pick them up or delivered? I'm over in Brimfield so about 30 miles from there

 

[GeHmTS]

Get NEWP, they burn hot and with little ash.

 

[Chrisnow86]

I picked them up... I drive out there for work so I grabbed them while I was on the road.. When I go there the guy even helps me break down the pallet and load me up.. I have my 3500 work van so It takes the load easy

 

[Joe B One925]

Yeah my pickup truck would take 2 times to handle the weight safely... Ugh ... Any chance ur coming out this way? Lol

 

[LordmetalZ28]

Turmans I would choose out of those four choices

 

[bas157]

Turman burn super clean in my P68. I paid around $260/ton, but they have to go a good bit further to get to you compared to down here in PA

 

[Joe B One925]

I ended up getting some north Idaho Douglas fir ones... Anyone have experience with those?

 

[JRA]

If your referring to purcell I was extremely disappointed with them. They are a Doug fir mix and whatever they are mixing them with makes them burn dirty. They leave huge clinkers I'm my burnpot after 2 bags, even after babysitting and scraping. North idaho energy logs make these. The energy logs super premium burn hotter and a lot cleaner. Hope you have better luck.
