names of two brand carried at my local agway in eliot ME

Corinth pellets, 100% hardwood $280 ton

Athens, 80-20% $255 ton

both products from maine, only bummer is these guys have no delivery options, but are willing to allow my to store it there as I pick it up gradually???
 
Ynot, do a search of both names. I'm sure you'll get lots of posts that discuss them. The Corinth is a so-so pellet. The Athens (Maine Woods) are not too good.

I got a ton of the Corinth pellets from that very store back in late August, and I have turned the stove on 5 or 6 time with those in the hopper. They seem to burn pretty good; not much ash and the heat is good. Of course the real test will be when it turns cold!
As for delivery, I had to rent a UHaul for another project so I just swung over to Eilot after and loaded the ton; drove them to the house, and unloaded them into the garage. Previous to getting this ton, I had already gotten three tons of LG's delivered from Pellet Sales.
Good Luck!
 
I haven't tried either of those pellets, but wanted to pop in and say hi, I live in Eliot also. If you need delivery and aren't fixed on those brands there is the local HD, Lowes, and a couple of stove shops not too far away. To the best of my knowledge all carry pellets and have delivery.
