Cherry pits

[Backwoods Savage]

Does anyone know of a supplier in Michigan for dried cherry pits?

There is an ad in our local weekly newspaper. I gave it to a niece, she called, left message but nobody returned her call. They have a pellet stove and, naturally, are having problems with supply of pellets. Looking for possibility of burning pits in their stove.

I'm thinking someone in or near Traverse City should have some but not sure who. Anyone know?

Contact local juice plants. They probably sell the pits to grain dryers who in turn sell to baggers.

I did give them a name of a big canner near Traverse City. Hopefully they will find something through them.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but make sure that the stove can burn cherry pits. Not all pellet stoves can burn corn and/or cherry pits.

Make sure the pits are dry and clean

there was a guy on hearth.net who bought some, and his came straight from the juice factory. They still had some fruit pulp on them, and never did dry 100%

I know this is a little after the fact, but Triple D Orchards is selling cherry pits both wholesale and some retail.. They are in Empire if that is close to you. You can go to tripledorchards.com.
