Premium Barefoots vs Super Premium Barefoots

[chrisasst]

I got a ton of barefoots delivered today ( $283 ughh) I notice they say SUPER PREMIUM BAREFOOTS. I have been using the premium barefoots. 1% ash vs .5% ash.
Is this the big difference or are they even a hotter burn than the regulars..

Pellet quality is gonna be very similar. I really doubt you'll see much difference between the 2. Seeing PFI has dropped the Super premium standard, Next season they will probably be labeled premuim again.

How do you like the BF's?

That's like making sure you buy 'Fancy Strawberry Preserves'. Did you ever see 'Plain Strawberry Preserves' marked on the jar? I'm not sure there really is any truth in what's marked on packaging anymore. Just another sales tool IMHO.

Notice every single washing machine says "Heavy Duty" on it too? :lol: Kinda loses it's meaning doesn't it?

Love them. Now that I have found a near by supplier that will deliver, I am even more thrilled. Not sure about the price though..

I am having no luck finding Barefoot locally so I might have to take an hour ride west toward Troy.

I believe Barefoot pellets are made in Troy Pa, sry if im wrong but anyways I am in Eastern Pa and never seem to find them. So where the heck are these sold?

Fill out the dealer locator form on their website. They'll email you with dealers in your area. http://www.barefootpellet.com/dealerlocation.html

Hard to choose between saving cash or excellent quality. You definetly want some for the cold season.

I think it took them a while to get back to me last year too.

Where in eastern PA are you? SOS Stoves in Hackettstown, NJ carries Barefoots. They're about 1/2 hour from Easton.

Millers Egg Ranch in Bangor, Pa also carries Barefoots.

I just went outside and looked to see which bags i had. Mine say super premium on them. I paid $299 a ton. I didnt mind paying that for them for a couple reasons. One, you cant find a bad review of them and most who comment about them rave about them and two, theyre an American company so i dont mind paying a small premium for a quality domestic product. Im pretty new at this pellet thing so i dont have alot to go on but so far i really like them. Clean and hot. I like them alot more than the NEWP that i started out with (they were dirty) and slightly better than the Logike that i burned before them.

Yea, it's a great question that will win you a few beers in bars.

I bought a ton and they all say super premium. They're a great pellet. Very hot and not a lot of ash.

The one thing I do not like about them is that some of the pellets are very long and I can hear them being broken up in the burn pot. This does not happen with the Vermonts which are superior in my opinion. They are are a shorter pellet, burn just as hot, and less ash.

This year was my first year burning so I wanted to try a few different brands. Next year I will most likely go with one ton of a shoulder pellet and 2-3 tons of Vermonts.

JBibbs, Where did you get the Vermonts?

Fredrickson Farms in North Scituate, highly recommended.

They just priced themselves out of the market by me. My local pellet supplier stopped carrying Barefoot because of their price increases. He used to carry Barefoot & Hamer, now it's Hamer & Great American.

Wow what a difference in the ash. Very little ash, very little build up happening compared to the other. Great pellets.
