Smokey..thanks for the honor...it's been updated!!
 
I've been wondering about these. Local dealer is out of stock of lots of the brands that I'm familiar with but he has these. However, they are $259 per ton (2+ tons) plus delivery charge. They're a bit more here in MA.

That is not to bad...figuring the extra distance from the factory...I'm about 100 miles from the plant...I went and got my pellets...borrowed a trailer from the American Loggers...the Pelletiers and spent $20 in gas to travel..I also bet these will be more once people try them...I'm buring them right now and my back room is 76 degrees...almost 4-5 degrees hotter then my MWP burns...temp is 36 outside. One thing I like about the pellets is the size..1 1/4" and smaller...my Thelin likes the smaller sized pellets..
 
Thanks. I'll go pick up about 10 bags this weekend and give them a try when it gets a little colder here. We're actually headed for some warmer weather next week. I still need to get this pellet furnace hooked up into my duct work.
 
On Geneva, I burned 2 bags end of last season, as preview from my local dealer.

Liked them SO much I bought 4 tons. I have not regretted the purchase at all, I paid 225/ton I think..., and they like my stove a lot. Between these and Okies, I'm very happy with these brands. My wife commented on them also, so at least I know I'm not just going pellet crazy.

I enjoy watching the big yellow flames with the blue bases...only issue is my face get hot while I watch them...ha...ha..
 
I just ordered 4 tons of the these Geneva pellets to be delivered next week.
 
So far, I've burned about 3/4 of a ton and I find that the heat output seems to be fine. However, I do think there's a lot of ash with these pellets.
