Hoss, They must have paid it. Looks like they are hustling out the product too! You get some to try this season?

No, I haven't , I just found out today that my guys at Winterport Wood Pellet are now carrying the 100% hardwood Geneva pellets, which are coming out of that mill as well, that's what got me into a search that brought the old story up, I guess, and a couple cocktails made me not paying attention before I linked to it, but there WAS something about them paying it. I guess the mill is still making the Maine Choice, too, that I burned a couple ton of in '09-'10, but Winterport isn't carrying those, I guess. IF I get room in the cellar before the snowbank gets up in front of the window, I may put a ton of those hardwoods in to try, we'll hafta see.

From what I gathered, The pellet house's will get the dibs on the Geneva. Maine Choice is available to them and also to the box stores. I got 2 bags of Geneva to try this fall. But haven't tried them yet. My neighbor has and he is impressed with them. Says his stove is happy and the wife is warm. Another fella I work with grabbed a ton and will be trying them later this week.
I haven't seen much Maine Choice around though. They must be concentrating on cranking out the Geneva's?

I know that Geneva makes Maine Choice are you implying that they also make a pelet called Geneva?

I haven't seen any around yet I wonder if they are the same as Maine Choice, but in a different bag.
Also haven't seen any MWP softwood version anybody tried these two pellets?
Still burning OKIEs here as I got a real good price in the fall of 2010 plus winning the 2 tons didn't hurt either, but the OKIES are sky high right now about $298 a ton.

I'll post something once I burn the Geneva's.
The Geneva's are supposed to be Super Premium and the Maine Choice is Premium. Also supposed to be less moisture content in the Geneva's. 4% to MC's 6%
Still working on the MWP softies myself!
A few days ago, a bud offered me a bag to try. I had never heard of them. Perhaps I'll accept his offer.
