Many people here like the fireside ultra but does anyone know where in New Hampsire to buy them? HD is selling fireside platinum. I presume there is a difference between the two, can't find any information on the internet, not even the company that makes them.

Rumour has it Fireside Ultras are Energex pellets rebagged - Lac Megantic plant supposed to produce better pellets 
BBS will have their "brand" bagged by supplier. There was a thread with UPC seal #s to try to track down actual suppliers...

FSU's (regular) have been at the Concord and Manchester HD's.
Haven't seen any FS Platinums though.

I'm not so sure many people like FSUs, but they are a decent value brand. I burned 2 tons last year. Hot-burning, but a handful of fines in every bag and lots of ash left over. Short pellets, so they feed fast, and you should adjust your air accordingly. Presumably the "platinum" is better than the regular FSUs. I'll guess they vacuumed them twice so that they're less dusty!
