Browsing Craigslist for log scrounges, I noticed this ad for free pellets. I don't have a pellet stove, but in case anybody who does is in the area and wants to look into it, here's the link.

I have no idea if there could be something wrong with them or if they're still available.

Pretty cool. I would be all over that if I had a pellet muncher. My pickup can easily haul a ton and then when I get home, unload via bucket.

This is a tough time of year to unload pellets since most folks are sweating.
 
Wow
Looks like at least 8 years of heat for free! :)

In heafty sinch sacs!

However these polyester chips are not from an American Pellet Mill
Dragon Special Resin from Japan? !!!

The ad says they are filled with wood pellets. It seems the bags must have been re-used after importing plastic chips.

May be refilled from regional mills. Bags are from Xiamen, China
 
This would be one of those times when you would want one of those stove types that is NOT sensitive to pellet quality.
