called TSC they say thats all the bag says and their from maine

Here they have Instant Heat and Green Supreme. So far anything I've gotten from TSC is not "Premium" per say, IMO..

Most pellets have a brand name on the bag. Most boxstores will call any of them "premium" and don't know the brand names. But there is one that doesn't have a brand name and is more like a super premium, But only say premium on the bag. That would be MWP!

I bought a ton this year and burned 10 bags so far. I am getting a LOT of ash. No clinkers and a clean glass though.

Same here! The MWP blend is giving me a lot of ash, and not nearly the heat of their softwood pellets.

I really like the softwood, but am KICKING myself for getting suckered in by last year's hype for the hardwood blend after MWP's horrendous pellets of a few years ago.

I stopped in at TSC yesterday. These are the "Premier" Pellets.

hi OMV.last time i was in tsc they had no pellets left and they had no idea as to when the might be getting them.the "premiums" she is referring to is written on the outside plastic cover on two ton of lignetics that are already sold.their most recent batch was indeed maine woods and they were sold out in 4 days.they had no pellets last thurs when i stopped in

OMV,
I can back-up what Cork is saying. I was at the same TSC on Thursday and they were out of stock on pellets.

Mark P,
I burned those Appalachian Hardwood (Premier) Pellets last year in the shoulder seasons.
They were a good early fall-late spring pellet.
Cheap enough but not hot or very clean.
Once the cold weather set in I switched to Okanagan's and Vermont's.
I went back to the Appalachian's in the late spring.

Not a bad pellet for what I used it for.
Wish I could have found more of them this year but they were not around.

It really depends on the store location. The closest TSC to me is in Redding California. However we have a chain thats owned by TSC called Del's Farm Supply. We (my company) will be picking up 66 tons of pellets from Prineville Oregon to deliver to DFS locations around the region. Last time I was in a DFS store, they brand was Eureka out of Montana.


We have hauled Lignetics out of Idaho to Lowe's stores and Blazer & Hot Shots from Columbia City Oregon to local Home Depot stores.

With the price of diesel fuel, transportation adds to the cost of pellets. For the pellets we have been hauling, trucking adds $30 to $50 a ton.

Around the ME, MA, NH are the bags that say "Premium Wood Pellet Fuel" are Maine Wood Pellets, they are generally in a bag with a log cabin on them, but the company uses a specific bag for sales to big-box stores. Same product.
