Anybody burn the Maine softwood pellets this past winter? I burned Okies last winter and was very happy with them. However, I would like to find out if the Maine softies were any good.
I have no first hand knowledge of how they are but everything I've read on here has been positive to the point I now have 2 tons in my basement for this year.
I asked sib and they said they were getting like 8900 btu's and less than .5 ash. They sound really good and for 60 less a ton than Okies I like them even more!
After 4 years on this forum I have come to the conclusion that it isn't practical to be too picky with a pellet purchase. Best to have a good stove that burns them all.,
That p61a will burn all of the above, sirThat's exactly why I paid the money for a Harmon. I probably don't need the MWP softies, but at $239 delivered vs $275 at the store for Greene Team at Lowe's, I bought the softies.

FULL DISCLOSURE --> I have a biomass boiler
I burned a couple tons of te MWP Softwood this past season and thought it was the best pellet I have burned to date, which include Oakies, Cleanfire Pacific, and LG's for softwoods. It had the heat of the Oakies, but finer ash.
I also burned a couple of tons of MWP Blend and thought it was by FAR the worst pellet I have burned to date. I wouldn't even burn them again if they were free. Very little heat and TONS of ash.
i have no complaints. easily kept me warm all winter. no clinkers.
bought several more tons this year. (check my signature)
this pellet though seems to have the widest range of opinions held about it of any on this forum.
some swear by them. some people even say it's the worst they've ever burned.
but i will keep using them.
i did get 2 ton of the mwp softies this year. $235 delivered is the reason why. no way in hell i will pay close to or at $300 a ton in the current pricing framework for a "premium" pellet.
re: the blend- (since it was introduced into the discussion.)
Damn... the place I bought mine was only $20 per ton difference than Okies.I asked sib and they said they were getting like 8900 btu's and less than .5 ash. They sound really good and for 60 less a ton than Okies I like them even more!
