Not likeing Curran Hardwood in 25/26

[SESZOO]

Been a while since I posted ,still running my old Lopi AGP, It's been a workhorse all these years ,Up North here in NY , Northern St Lawrence /Franklin cty area , Have been burning Curran Hdwood pellets , so far this year , and haven't been getting the heat from them that I think I should ,along with them burning pretty fast, and hhaveing to clean the stove more often , Has any one else been haveing problems with them ? Don't have a moisture meter ,but a lot of the bags fon't seem to be sealed as well as their softwood blend has been in the past which is what I usually burn , It's about all I can find up here at a reasonable price 253 tax included ,a ton , Bought 1 ton to see me through until I can find another brand , Plus I had to pick it up ,took 2 trips in the old S10 from the local hardware store , Looking for a better pellet before too much longer as winters about set in , any ideas on anything better ? If I can find the soft wood blend I'll probably g back to that for the price , But wasn't really pleased with them last year

What about Green Supreme? Home Depot? I burn something called Eastern Embers 100% premium softwood but I don't think you have them down there. They are made in Nova Scotia

Here in Western Mass. mediocre pellets go for around $350 per ton. Decent ones are close to $400. It's been around five years since pellets were anywhere near $253. in my area. Wood and Sons are $395. Okanogan are too. It may not be worth the savings to by pellets that have lots of fines, or low heat, or too much ash, but these prices are ridiculous.
