Last year it was Platinum, so this year its Extreme? What's next year? Unobtamium?
Good price though for a good pellet

Just a little play on words and not quite accurate. Green SUPREME (NEWP) is $188, Green TEAM is still $274 and Maine Choice is $188.
Ohhhhhh, so does the pricing differences mean that a big box store actually realizes that not all pellets are alike? What a coincidence that the only one of the 3 that I might use is the one that they want Super Duper Premium pricing for a pellet that is only "good".
They figured it out last season down here, The had Greene Teams for $197/ton and Greene Team Platinums for $279/ton. Same pellet different bag. Took them till spring to sell all the GT Platinums. But the Greene Teams flew out of the store. I haven't looked to see what they have, But got an email from Robbie saying they got a shipment in early July.
When I chatted with the service manager about it, He still though they were all the same. I almost got him to sell me a ton of the Platinums for the same as the Green Supreme's. After all they are all the same, Right?
Unfortunately he had to run it past his boss, his boss said the Platinums were costing Lowes more than the other brands so he stuck to the higher price.
Just be careful if you order from Lowes that you specifically tell the order taker (register or phone) that you want the Green TEAM brand pellets. Last year when I was at the store and saw they had both in the stock yard - the girl who was entering the order said all pellets, regardless of brand, are under one SKU. I had to make sure she put 'Green Teams' in the notes section so the picker would get the right pallet - otherwise I would have refused the shipment. She was even kind enough to go outside and put a reserved sign on the GT's with my name on them. It sounds like this won't be a problem for the GT Platinums, but it may still be for the Green Teams and Green Supremes - 'cause we all know how knowledgeable the staff at the box stores are, right?
Very Tru ! ! My first year burning was the only time I ordered thru Lowes (Pellet house since then for bulk). I ordered Greene Team at the register, Greene Team was noted on the order, spoke with the shipping manager who confirmed Greene Team. They showed up with Pennington. Shipping manager was out sick that day and they took whatever was on the end and easiest. Sent the truck back to get Greene Team, luckily the driver was very well versed in customer service. He radioed back made them find the last 4 tons they had and tag them until he returned.

I would never touch the Green Teams for $275.
But if I had the room I would be all over those Maines Choice for $188 like a hobo on a ham sandwich.

Green team supreme 188 ton at lowes in R.I. gotta go tell them you want them and not the inferno's.
Jim, are you sure those are Greene Team and not Green Supreme? Big difference between the 2 and from what I have seen, there are no Greene Team Supreme, unless the manufacturer has a new labeling this year.
Didn't matter for me when I bought 2 tons of GT this past spring. They put my name on the actual pallets I wanted, and "assured" me those would be delivered.
Well, guess what?? I ended up with nasty North American's (Curran). Had to call and have them come exchange them. Delivery guy said "they never told me it made any difference what pellets I loaded on the truck".
Buyer beware.

Jim,
I firmly believe you are confusing two different brands....Again, the GREEN TEAM pellets are made in PA and are bagged under several different names including Green TEAM, Greene GOLD and Green Team PLATINUM. They are all exactly the same pellet and some of us have been told this by the Comptroller of the company. GREEN SUPREME is manufactured by New England Wood Pellet (NEWP) out of Jaffrey NH and Deposit NY and is the exact same pellet that is bagged under the NEWP brand name.
In your first post, you called them Green Team Extreme and in your next post called them Green Team Supreme.
Now if you are telling us you got GREEN TEAM pellets for $188, you are a lucky man as the sales person probably made a mistake on the SKU#.
Green Teams here in Northern Mass and So NH are currently $274/ton.
I just might be pulling an OMV if they wereFinally..... i knew GT were not 188

At the Lowes in Raynham, i bought two tons of the Green Supremes for 188.00 per ton. Going to be delivered tomorrow. They should feed my Harmon P38 just fine.
So is that the preferred pellet of choice out of this selection? Maine's Choice over Green Supreme?

Local Home Depot has Green Supremes at 209/ton. My stove loved them last year so I have taken 3 tons for this season.

Hi Jim, the Raynham Lowes only had one pallet of Maines choice when i was there on Saturday. I wanted to get ready for the winter season early in the event there were any shortages or price increases.
