Prest-o Log Pellets...would you buy them?

[lightyear]

Short story...I "bought" Stove chow pellets-3 tons worth. I had them delivered and when I came home they were prest-o Log Pellets.


I paid $209 for them each plus shipping of $75

My other option is $229 for Power Pellets which I need to load one ton at a time.

Help me out. I just want to Know if they are crap or worth keeping-I am on the phone now trying to figure something out with HD

I used stove chow my first season. I ran out and picked up a half a ton of press 2 logs. For me the burned just as hot, but with slightly more ash.

I have burned Stove Chow and they are a decent pellet. I have not heard too many good reports on the pres-to-logs. In my opinion, if I paid for Chow I would expect to receive Chow. I would make them come back for them and deliver the right ones at their cost.

I've burned both, I liked the Presto Logs much better in my stove. They were a lot hotter for me. Again, every stove is different. I've heard the ashy complaint about the Prestos before, but I have a multifueler so ash isn't much of an issue for me. The Prestos were my main pellet last winter, and I was happy with them.

Presto-Logs are made by Lignetics.....a good solid shoulder season pellet, and should burn in your Harman no problem.

Yep. I like them. A tad hotter than the Green Label ligs, but a little ashier. I'll take the heat and deal with the Ash

Never burned chow, but as for heat. The Presto Logs are a hotter pellet than a lot of others I have burned. Blows American Wood Fibers and Easy Heats out of the water! Somersets and Pro Pellets still have an edge on heat.

I bought 5 ton a couple years ago for $177/ton. Still have half left!

Maybe you can get a discount for the mess up? I would keep the Prestos, but see about a coupon, or next time purchase discount, free delivery on next purchase? Worth a shot

Thanks for your input all. I decided to keep them, and stacked them up. Dexter-I do plan on contacting them about some type of discount...hopefully I will get it. If it was Lowe's I would get it, their customer service is great!

Thanks again.

Are the Prestos hardwood? Soft? Blend?

My local HD has them at $209 too and I was thinking a ton for the shoulders might be nice to go with my leftover ton of Turman/Barefoot. Especially at $209 locally where I can haul them in the SUV vs. $290 plus delivery for more Turman/Barefoot.

Blend of Hardwood/Conifer..

 

[DonD]

Thanks Dex!

 

[jtakeman]

This years might be all hardwood? They dropped the conifer from the Lignetics bags.

Website still lists the softwood only version, which I got a ton of 3 yrs ago at Tractor Supply, but haven't seen them around here since. They burned very nicely in the Astoria.
