pellet decisions

[Bob Sorjanen]

I have to figure out which pellets I want to burn this year. I tried Barefoots again, got from a different seller and they are much better than the ones I purchased last year. They seem like all the pellets are bout the same size and burning very nice in my stove. So I have to decide if I should get them or buy some LG Granules that also burn nice. Maybe get both.

meh....Barefoots would be my choice...

 

[DuelburnJake]

Why not try both? I'm going out on a limb this year and trying a lot of different brands, MWP softies, Vermonts, MWP blends, FU's and anything else around that looks interesting...

Where are you purchasing Barefoot pellets from? I live in Western Maine and have not been able to locate a dealer in Maine that carries them.

thanks

I would try both, and it depends on the price, here the barefoots are pricy, are they both the same price by you?

here is a link to check out for them (broken link removed to http://www.barefootpellet.com/dealerlocation.html)

Bob,

I have tried the link before and not had much luck. Would you mind listing the names of the stores. At $269.00 a ton it would be worth it for me to travel to get them.

I took a guess and called a place in Damariscotta (Damariscotta Hardware) that has them priced at $310.00 a ton. I don't know if the place I called is the same at the ones Bob is talking about.

thanks

Rick that is one place but pricey. I have been dealing with Ames True Value supply in Wiscasset on route 1. That is the price I believe they told me but they didn't have the new supply prices yet.

called them and the price is $279.00 a ton------Barefoots and LG Granules

If the price is the same, try splitting the order....some of each, although I'd lean a little heavier on the ones you already know burn well in your stove.

Can I ask what you had to give for the MWP softies? Last year I bought two tons of them and 3 tons of the mixed MWP. I waited until the coldest part of the winter before I put in the softies. When the year was done, I had a half ton of the softies and none of. the mixed left. I can't objectively say that I got that much more heat from the softies so this year I only bought the mixed.

imacman burned a bit of the LG's last year not bad. Last year didn't like the barefoots, but tried some this year and they seem real nice. So I think I will get a ton of the Barefoots for starters. Hopefully can make some room to store them this weekend.

+1! Try both. I'm partial to BF.

 

[Phil Do's fire.]

Burning LG's and Cleanfire pacific, like them both alot. The Cleanfires burn real hot in my stove

Augmister I just might get a ton of each. 1 ton barefoot and 1 ton LG Granules. They are the same price, the only one cheaper is MWP blend and they are like $229.00 and they don't burn great in my stove.
