To me Marth pellets were to long and would bridge in the hopper. I prefer Indeck as a inexpensive pellet. They are pretty consistent 3/4 inch long and a hardwood. they probably have more ash then Somersets but emptying a ash bucket is easy for me.Has anyone heard of marth wood pellets? I can get them locally at a big box store for $4 a bag, or drive 4 hours round trip for somersets for $4.50 a bag. I'm new to pellet stoves, but from what I've read the somersets are a good pellet.

Hi
You may be able to find Pro Pellets where you live, they are from Michigan and are decent pellets, the company also re-bags them for Menards as Magic Spark Pellets. You can find them around me (West Michigan) for $190-$200 a ton all day long, I got them for $169 a ton in May if I remember right.
Here is their site, you could contact them and see if they have distributors near your location.

Kirtlands are also from Michigan and are excellent pellets, probably better than Pro Pellets slightly, but they are a little more per ton. They are a blend of hard and softwood.

Thanks for the tip on massilon. I burn corn but at that price I might consider. I haven't priced corn yet this year, they are just starting to pull it out of the field. I will be making a phone call to the co-op in the morning.
Are the Spruce points any good , I have a chance to get them locally for about 20 $ less a ton than the energex I have been useing , Same distance traveling ,just a difference between Hdwd and sft wd..?I would suggest trying a few bags of each to see how they burn for you. Marths are made in Wisconsin. IIRC not a bad pellet but not exceptional either. I tried them a few years ago but the Spruce Points and Lacretes are better pellets (and higher priced) but brought in locally.
Are they softwood or hardwood?
I would agree with you about Pro Pellets being a decent pellet. I tried a ton of Kirtlands a couple of years ago and would consider their heat output to be about 80% of the Pro Pellets. But, things may have changed.
