Are they hardwood or softwood?

Are those the new pellets out of strong plant or the one up in Athens? I have not heard of them before....where are they being distributed?

The new Athens mill. O'Hara's Ice in Maine (member is 'compressedwoodsupplier') has them for $250/on with $1.50/mile.

jeff,

i just spoke with dave carr from the athens plant, and he told me his pellets are premium hard wood...80/20 mix. he also told me that they would sell to the general public direct at the mill, and they have both bulk and 1 ton pallets.

at this time he is unsure of the price but said that he thinks it will be around 2-225 per ton.he says they are not quite ready to go into distribution as of yet but to call back in a couple of weeks, for definate pricing, and when the general public can come in for purchase. he said it may be a couple evenings a week plus saturdays. sounds pretty good so far, so i will call him in a week or so and get the definates.

Thank you for the information Mike. I don't think my new 1/2 ton Tacoma would appreciate the ride from Athens to Limerick though. I would, however, still be interested in any specific statistics on the pellets, but the 'premium hard wood...80/20 mix' helps.

Thanks ~ Jeff

From my understanding about the general public going into athens and picking up pellets is that only the people in atherns are allowed to purchase from the plant.. Im a dealer of the wood pellets and that was the understanding i have (but never know what will happen
