TSC in Rindge, NH re-stocked

[BradH70]

I was at the Tractor Supply in Rindge, NH yesterday after work and they had just received a new shipment of pellets. They have Lignetics, a couple flavors of MWP and I believe Instant Heat. All are $214 a ton, no matter what is purchased. I was hoping that they would have the 100% softwood from MWP but they only have the mix and hardwood(?). Everything was still rapped up so it was hard to see some of the labels. I could not tell what the color of the Lignetics label was.

I'm going to swing back by tomorrow to see if they have opened any of the wrappings up and if they have I am going to get a few bags of the Lignetics to try.

The last I knew Maine Woods produces two kinds of wood pellets for burning in a pellet stove the first is a hardwood softwood blend currently it is a 65% hardwood 35% softwood blend and a 100% softwood pellet.

The MWP that they just received are in a white bag with a picture of a stove on it. The Lignetics are wrapped in tan plastic (quite well too I might add) so it was difficult to determine the color of the label and I didn't want to tear open the wrapping to find out. That would be bad pellet etiquette!

When I go back tomorrow I will take better note of what they have.

They only did a limited run of the softwood, I believe they are in the process of or plan on doing another run.

I bought a ton of Instant Heat from the TSC for $204 about a month ago. They are OK, lots of carbon build up and the ash is weird. When it builds up in the burn pot it gets hard, like a clinker...I dont know. For that price though i figured what the heck.

Stopped into TSC over the weekend and now they have Lignetics in the white bag with green letters for $214, thinking I might grab a bag or 2 to test out...anybody tried them?

I bought a ton from TSC in Skowhegan. Lots of dust. Lots of ash in the burn pot. I wouldn't buy them again. I rate them about the same as the junk walmart sells(pennington's).

The TSC store near us has the Lignetics with the blue lettering. Is there a difference between the green and blue lettering? I grabbed two bags but don't have a pellet stove yet to burn Hoping to try these out on Tuesday when the stove gets installed!

Not sure what the price is here now but about a month ago pellets were 199 at TSC. Also Instant heat is manufactued about 10 miles from my house.

The last time I saw info on them, the blue lettering was the lower quality of the Lignetics line (besides the Presto Logs). I have 2 tons of Lignetics in the basement I bought from TSC and a private seller, but both are Green lettering (1 all hardwood, 1 hard/soft blend). Burned a bag of the blend already just to see what it would do, and I was happy with it.

Do the burning of the Blue lettering to test them before committing to any tons. You might want to grab 2-3 more bags to add to the test, considering that you are new to pellet stoves....it will take 2-3 bags until you start to get a "feel" for how the stove burns.

Thanks for the advice. I'll go grab some more tomorrow. I had called them ahead of time to see what they had in stock yesterday and they said Green Supreme, Maine Woods and Instant Heat. When I got there they only had the Lignetics for sale in the single bags. I really wanted the Green Supremes to try but they wouldn't break the pallets. I'll update when I burn these Lignetics. Thanks!

Last year, I had the white bag/green print lignetics, and they burned fantastically! I was spoiled by them!
