I am from the same town as the Geneva plant. My uncle brings a lot of wood to them. Would really like to see them make a go of it

Anybody try them yet?

A local pellet house has them due in early April. Promised me 2 bags to sample and post a review. He is also carring the sister pellet Maine Choice.

$265/ton on the Geneva and $220/ton on the Maine Choice. Only bummer is he is dropping the MWP from athens.

No, I got to keep the dog house open just in case I need a new place to stay! ;-P But the lawn shed might get stuffed! :cheese:

Has anyone tried these yet?
If these are decent and are priced right, I may want to burn them next year.

Still waiting for my local pellet house to get some in. He promised me a sample to review. They were supposed to have some in by early April, But nothing yet. I might be running out of time to burn them. Warmer weather is approaching!

Haven't seen the new bag, but recently I bought 25 bags of the "regular" Maine Choice green bag with the moose on the front to burn as a shoulder pellet instead of my Okies. Last year I burnt about 2 1/2 tons of the Maine choice so I wasn't to concerned about buying some this year. I am down to 2 bags and can't wait to be rid of them what a dirty pellet. Cleaning intervals on my Castile went from 2 weeks with Okies to max 3 days with the Maine Choice. I don't know why they are so dirty but won't by again even if they go on sale. Sure glad I didn't buy too many.
