Maine Wood Pellets at $199 delivered

[save$]

In the local Augusta Me. KJ newspaper today. The man from Jay, Wood Pellet Warehouse is offering pellets delivered at $199. This time the delivery is limited to the circulation area of the news paper. I have no idea what other papers he may have advertised in. In his add, he has *New Mix* www.sibwoodpellets.com I did get ton from him from his earlier add. Came the day he promised. I have burned over half the ton with no problems, good heat, and burning cleaner than last year. For the money, don't see how you can go wrong.

We have 4 tons purchased from him. Very pleased so far!

one of my local dealers has MWP but they look like the exact same bag as last year. Hate to get that same stuff as last year. Any clues on the bags whether its this years or last years batch??

BTW grabbed a few bags of Turmans to try out. They want 260/ton for them so i dont they'll be my long term choice but thought id give them a try

That is great. Should be very informative. Do you have any way on knowing if you have a new batch of pellets? I am hoping you do. Also hoping to find out how these compare with Energex Canadian, and are more than shoulder season pellets. thanks

Hello

I tried the maine wood pellets and they are ok but nothing beats the Logik-e from Canada in my neck of the woods.

Yeah not whats sitting on the floor at my local store....

 

[jtakeman]

People are saying they have seen 4 to 5 different bags out there. Maybe trying to confuse us?? IDK. I hope they burn nice though!

I had the same feeling after the ones from last year (what crap)and will not give them my business again.JMHO but fool me once.....

 

[Fish On]

I just tried a bag the other day and if this is the new pellet I would hate to see what the old one was like. Awful!

 

[jtakeman]

I just put the bags I snagged in the stove and they seem to have good heat! So far not to bad.

 

[slls]

j-takeman Do you keep your feed rate the same to see how the burn against known good pellets.

 

[jtakeman]

Yes, The feed rate has been kept the same for every pellet brand tested so far. Including what I did last season! Heat setting 3 medium.

 

[slls]

Do you post the flame height or just how much heat.

 

[jtakeman]

I get a pretty big fire with my beast as its burning about 4 LBS/hr at that feed setting. The flame on the mainewoods is varying from 4 to 6 inches above the burn grate. With the hottest pellet to date burned about 8 inches above the burn grate and was consistent.

I also don't change the feed setting on the stove because its being timed for length of burn. I tweaked the damper is about it. Just trying to stay constant! I also don't usually comment on things because that's where the flack starts from. I have just been posting results and trying to stay non biased. I get much less crap that way! So its heat, ash, fines, and burn length from me. There are plenty of other members that have better word skills to write reviews. I'll just post what I get for results.

 

[slls]

I appreciate your input. I've only burned 3 different brand. Energex, Pennington and Spruce Pointe.
Spruce Pointe by far the best, had to turn the feed rate down because the flame was licking the window on start up.

 

[jtakeman]

slls,

So far so good. The only negitive so far is the rough texture makes them not slide to well in the hopper. Its run ten hours and the burnpot still looks clean, About all I can say right now. But I highly recommend you get a bag or 2 and try them.

Sorry if I seemed gruff. I can just see the Maine boys jumping on me if the results don't fair well. Takes the fun out of this testing stuff real fast.

Check this out! Interesting. Look at the first post!

This is one Mainer that won't jump on you Jay.

I'm interested in the results. I might buy some if they are decent. From the temperature and fines data you already have they aren't likely to be bad. The question for me is will they be worth using as a shoulder pellet, if they are I'll spring for a couple of tons, if they are better than that I'll spring for four tons, not cut into my Cubies as much, and figure I have next years fuel searching done.

Anyone know who runs that site? Anyone we know? (Don't be shy!) They seem to take some of our comments from here. I discovered it a month or two ago. Looks like it is evolving quickly.

Smokey, There better than the "shoulder pellets" I have burned. I am thinking more betweeners myself. They will take me into the low 20's no problem. But instead of adjusting feed rate on the stove(I usually stay right at feed 3-3 medium). I adjust with Pellets that burn hotter. So one could just crank the feed rate up a notch.

This isn't the MWP I am used to! Impressed? Yes I am so far. Gotta see the total ash numbers and total burn lentgh!

I can't tell you geek the Maine boys will have my hide. I hit there secret stash!

I got them at Blakeslee in Middletown, But CTpellet has them. I just wasn't sure on his batch. I also have a strong feeling the Quality One at BT is MWP rebagged. But no actual proof. I pickup a couple of bags they donated to add to the test thread. Wanna bet the numbers match??
