Well some good news for future pellet buyers. Just visited the maine woods pellet mill and found out they are making improvements. I was sent home with 12 bags of there newest batch of pellets and honestly they look 100% better then the stuff i was distributing earlier in the season. I just dumped 2 bags in last night so in a day or so i should be able to tell you if they are better or not. But they do look a lot better.
