Fitchburg plant still not producing

[lecomte38]

I met a friend that works at the new pellet/old grain plant in Fitchburg. He said that they had to recall what they had shipped because of excessive dust. They are working on the dust problem but are finding that the corn rolled up the augers fine but the wood pellets are breaking up in the process.

Wouldn't you think they would just be honest and tell people that? I know they are risking people canceling their orders, but it's better than leading people to believe they'll get their pellets soon, and it appears that might not be so. They will be losing customers for a lifetime because they'll feel ripped off and lied to. I didn't order from them, but I know many did, because of the price and they wanted to support a local business. It's too bad all around; I hope they get straightened out.

most new pellet mills have to 'work the kinks out" before too long....I just hope that they can get it solved AND get folks their pellets before cold weather......

Hmm, I have some waiting for me to pick up at my local hardware store. I wonder if I should bother now. My Tractor supply store has Maine wood pellets for $265/ton so maybe I will just pick some of those up instead.

well, just heard an update on the news this morning about nat. gas prices dropping another 18%-30%. With that information, I think I can wait until they get their kinks out... Meanwhile they will have to deal with me calling them every week or so until I get my pellets.

Tell that to my NG company, they still have not reduced their billing rates since they hiked them up
last year.

ha... well I haven't necessarily seen that effect on my bill yet, but I will be looking closely.
