At $249 a ton & great heat & low ash i won't be going back to Maine Wood Pellets from Athens no matter how low a price. I got traded a new batch from Athens & they still had way to much ash compared to the 3 other brands i burned in the last 2 years. Dave Carr from Athens said they would always be a lot of ash cause of the wood products they use (bark) . I was lucky enuff to find a nearby dealer who is just starting up & selling Maine Choice Pellets at a great price & reasonable delivery fee ($10 a ton) . Muss
