I called MWP to find out where I could buy some of their softwood pellets. Unfortunately they njo longer make them and have no future plans to do so. Too bad, I heard they were pretty good. :-/

I have had very good luck with them and from SIB, good CLEAN heat and at a reasonable cost. However, I will tell you there are a few folks here who will differ with that to the point that you have to question if we were discussing the same pellets. The advise given to me was the best. Try a few bags before you commit to a larger volume. You have 3 weeks to give them a try before your shipment is due.subsailor said:How are the MWP's? I have a ton coming in 3 weeks from SIB.

SmokeyTheBear said:Last spring they shut down the plant, then set it up to do a large run of 100% softwoods, they have since shut it down and reset the plant back to doing their blend.
I have pellets from last December and April of this year, both batches of them are fine.
As Save$ has mentioned try a few bags of any pellet before buying in bulk. It only takes a minor adjustment in the set up to ruin a run.

How can you tell when they were made? I have the numbers 549558 on the bag.
mainegeek said:MWP are dirty and don't produce a lot of heat. My wife and I also found they had an unpleasant smell to them. I sealed everything on the stove with hi-temp tape and fire blocking silicon but still the smell persisted; the smell hurt my sinuses too. I have never noticed a smell with other brands.... this year (spring) I had a chance to buy into MWP's again for fairly cheap (w/ delivery) but opted to go back to Energex pellets

When did you buy those pellets?
