Where are Heartland's made? I heard South Dakota. Sutherland's has switched from Eureka to Heartlands here and the price has jumped $.30 per bag since November. Glad I got enough for the Season.
Won't burn anything else, they're a great pellet with tons of BTU. I've burned every brand here in town and none burns as good as the heartlands do. Roughly estimating but somewhere around 60% of my customer base burns them. I hear some complaints every now and again. I had a guy saying that he bought a pallet and was having the ash/fines issues. I've never experienced that and I suppose it's possible. Sutherlands here in casper has sold them for years. They are 9200 btu/lb with ash content under the allowable 1%. From personal experience they're the highest btu content and the least expensive seems like a great combo to me. Personally I can't stand Eureka pellets they clinker up in my pot faster than anything. Rocky Mountains out of Laramie WY. are ok but I still buy heartlands over them. I tried some Blazers (West Oregon Wood Products) I liked them and would be a fine sub for my heartlands but once again I'll buy heartlands above any pellet.
you know its funny, i think pellet mills go through cycles. Eureka used to be fantastic, then they went into a slump. Heartland caused us nothing but headaches, but now maybe there better. One pellet that we LOVE is calentitos out of new mexico. There made out of old wood molds and burn hot, clean, and little ash.
