I have goad good luck with them and would buy them for that price. Average ash, no clinkers.
Some complaints on here have been some bags have a lot of fines.

I burned them last year as a shoulder season pellet.
For that price ($210) I'd buy them again.
Not the best pellet but decent.
I'm a dumper not a sifter and didn't notice extra/unusual fines.

I burned a few bags last season, Not half bad IMHO. Heat was OK, ash was in spec, not a lot of fines and they burned fine. Chip to log pellet so they were somewhat coarse in texture(hopper slid) and not as dense as the hot brands. Decent for the money spent. But I would have to class them in the shoulder ranks for me, Not enough heat to get me by in the cold season.
Melissa220, I know this is your first season. I wouldn't fill the whole stash with these, You might want to get only a ton or 2 JIC. I'd try to get something with a bit more heat for the cold season. Or get some to start the season with, Then once the season starts and you get burning, You could trial some other stuff.
I'm just not sure filling the stash with an untried pellet is the best thing to do! IMHO, I'd play a safety and get a mixed batch or something with a better track record. But thats just me.

I just ordered 2 ton Maine Wood Pellet Co softwood pellets from Sibs. Delivery Oct 1. From what I understand this is going to be a good thing!
