Burning Hunk
Well said! I can't speak about any of the new production runs of Cubex because my current stash is a few years old. It's funny though how things change from year to year and batch to batch. An example.......I bought 6 tons a few years back and noticed a difference from pallet to pallet. Don't get me wrong, they have all burned great for me. All the Cubies I was using in years past had the bag with the tan colored interior, all of a sudden I started seeing a bag with a white interior and the pellets were much lighter in color. They smelled like birch or maple and burned like an acetylene torch! I got a great deal on my tonnage back then at 230.00/ton. Now that some of these fuels are reaching the 300.00 plus mark, I will re-consider future purchases. Of course, with almost 7 tons of assorted fuel on hand now.....I have plenty of time to considerCubex is not a bad pellet, but it is also not what it used to be. Cubex is owned by Lauzon Inc., out of Quebec. They are a hardwood floor manufacturer and years ago made pellets strictly out of their own flooring sawdust. As a result, they were great pellets and they charged a premium for them. Somewhere, several years ago, with the increase in demand for pellets, they started to buy outside sawdust and blend it in with their own in an effort to increase production. Still a good pellet, but not what it was, and they still charge a premium for it. Why not?....it has a great reputation from several years back.
