Need a recommendation on pellets for my stove. Big box store prices seem high and based on my experience last year it's hit or miss.
With all the independent dealers nearby I have variety but it's too many to try them all. Need some recommendations.
Thanks.

What stove do you have? Is the stove your primary source of heat? What pellet brands are you looking at?
List the brand you see in your area and maybe we can narrow down from there. Also look up Bucks Pellets. Just North of Doylestown, PA. Joe @ Bucks Pellets is a great guy and knows is products.

Have an Englander 25-PDV. I've been running it as a primary heat source to save on electric. Saving about $200-350/mth.
As for pellets I'm using last year's pellets purchased off CL. I've noticed that they really don't heat well compared to the Lowe's green premium but I estimate I use about 1 bag every 2 days.

They aren't too terribly far and an easy drive down Rt 78
I usually get my Turman from there....VERY little ash
Just picked up a ton of American Wood Fiber white pine softwoods yesterday.
They have others to choose from as well.

A little late...but...I've had decent luck with getting Energex pellets from Keller Enterprises in Northampton. Bought a couple tons in the early Fall so we were ready for this way-too cold weather.
 
I ended up getting the Energex pellets from PAPelletGuy and very happy. I thought the Greene Team Premium pellets from the Lowe's were great but these pellets are excellent! I start off on 3 and after a few hours lower it to 2 and my living room heats up to 78°.
But best of all my electric bill is less than $250/mth so far. It sure beats the $550 I paid last year at this time.

Awesome! Glad you like them. They've been my go-to pellet after trying a couple different brands.

The highest I've ever run the stove with the Energex's is at a 4...and that was only when it was sub-zero wind chills all night. Anything more than a 3 setting on a "normal" winter day is too much.
