Any Others From Richmond, VA Here?

[vakory]

Good morning, All! Just waiting for the Santa Fe to programmably fire up in... (checking clock) ... five minutes.

I just wanted to reach out and ask if there are any other Richmonders on the forum? I'm in Mechanicsville and am on the hunt for pellet retailers in addition to the shop where we purchased our insert. Right now, I'm using Turmans which I'm really enjoying but I'd like to see if I can get a bag or two of Hamers and Barefoots, based on this thread I've been educating myself on - https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/top-10-pellet-brands.107017/.

I went to the Hamer website but their "where to find us" form is broken so I may just drop them an email to ask. Same thing with the Barefoots site (well, it's an online form which opens my email client).

Thanks much and have a good one!

Kory

Not from the Richmond area but welcome. I went to school at Virginia Tech so I've been around your neck of the woods quite a bit. Hamers and barefoots (as you have been reading) are few of the top hardwood pellets out there. Speaking of barefoots, have you seen this?

Hey there, John! Tech is an awesome school! I lived in Staunton several years ago and would head down to Blacksburg from time to time. Once a Hokie, always a Hokie!

Wow, thanks so much for the article about Barefoots. I had no idea. I sure hope that worker is okay and that the damage to their storage shed is repairable. Thoughts and prayers to them for sure.

And a Happy St. Pat's Day to you as well, Defiant! I vaguely remember seeing one or two peeps from RVA here but the search was a bit lacking this morning (maybe the server's cold and could use some warming up!) Looking forward to the chiming in.

Enjoy some green beer today!
