Isabella pellets were excellent, however their plant burned down late last year. Don’t know if they will rebuild.
Propellets have always been very good also,,,low ash, burn more completely. Meander pellets...not so good,,,too much ash.

Thanks for the reply. Not unhappy with the Pro Pellets. Just wondering if there might be something better out there.

Also in north west Michigan. For me Pro Pellets are excellent. Looking at the specs on every other bag I come across, I don't want to burn anything else. They just seem to be getting harder to find. Just talked to one store that still has them, but won't sell tons since they only have 2 tons left.
Not sure where you are in MIchigan, however the Tractor Supply in Ludville has about ten tons in stock.
Phone them first.

I normally get 2 ton in August, and 1-2 ton for Black Friday. But this year everybody was out for Black Friday, but then I found Lowes had them. But then I got real sick and by the time I got better, Lowes was out. I contacted the company for more dealers in my area, and Emmet Brick & Block near Harbor Springs had 40 tons in stock, stored indoors, so I got my last ton there. I think I'll keep getting them from there if the Family Farm and Home still won't get them anymore. Prefer the Farm and Home because they're open longer and they're much closer. That's a lot of weight so I don't like to do it when the roads are slick.
I was running low awhile back, and my local Ace was out, both of his stores, Suggested the Feed mill. Went there they keep it indoors,, drive-thru right to the pile of pellets and they load it for me....Couldn’t be any bertter,,, it was Propellets, and it was two pretty young ladies doing the loading,,
