Top 10 pellet brands

I just visited my buddy in Littleton, CO. He heats his house with (2) pellet inserts. I drove by a pellet mill in Kremmling, CO that makes their pellets from beetle kill pine. Guess what my buddy got at Wal Mart....PENNINGTON'S. FWIW, he said he hates them. All those good western pellets and he get's Pennington's....sheesh.

Try western Washington.

That's right, Olympia Washington to be exact.
It's funny that the birthplace of the pellet stove doesn't have the variety of pellets that there is in the east.

What's wva?

West Virginia?

You pioneers do it,... we perfect it! LOL

Apparently i need glasses. lol

If you live in Eastern Ct stop by Long Pond - Hot Tub Fireplace LaCrete in Stock.And they do burn very HOT.

Well,I might as well chime in, the ones I have tried are,
Cubex
Spruce pointe
Northeast ( ashland me.)
Mwp blend
Mwp softies
Lecrete
Geneva ( makers of maine choice),
Independence
The Cubex i tried was 3 yrs ago...7 bags....seemed good, this winter i went to Rocky's in Augusta to buy more,he was out,so i picked up 25 bags of Lecretes...i like them very well.
Northeast is a 80-20 blend that burns good,clean...average amount of ash...250 per ton.
Mwp blend...209 per ton...decent heat...dirty though,and makes my insert very dirty,very fast.
Geneva's...suppose to be better than Maine choice so they charge 250 per ton....these burn ok,very ashy and dirty....not worth the money in my opinion...i would rather pay a cheaper price for the Mwp blend and get the same results.
Independence...240 per ton last year,again...burnt ok...alot of fines..
Sprucepointes...I know this will cause some arguments but...in my opinion,these are way over rated and over priced...alot of fines...more ash than i think a 300 per ton pellet should have...if you are going to spend this much money on a pellet...Lecrete is a better choice by far, I tried the Pointes last year and this year....and will not buy them again!
The Mwp softs can be had in this area for 250-260 per ton...burn very well....and my Accentra insert stays the cleanest,the longest with these pellets than any other that i have tried...in fact i even talked to Scott Bubier...the guy in charge of marketing for the Linkletters,and told him so....had a great talk with him on a Saturday morning.
I do like to try different brands....i hope to try Okies at some point...and some others...but for what info i have so far,you cant beat the mwp softies for price,heat and cleanliness.
Most pellets make me empty my little ash pan once per week,with these...i can go 2 weeks.
The only problem is....they only do a limited run on the softies....then go back to the blend, they say the profit margin is alot higher on the blend.
