I know that this has been talked about here many times before......i just thought I would add my 10 cents! :roll: The new Okies from the Upton bagging facility are a pleasant surprise. I have been burning them since the begining of the northeast shipments when they were in the clear bag with the pine tree design ( purchased @ BJ's in Tilton, N.H. to boot!).......and I must say the quality factor has been kicked up more than a few notches! Like others here, I was always dismayed at the amount of dust, fines and broken pieces in the bags. Not to mention the weak, rip-prone bags. These new "packaged in the USA" ones are a different breed altogether. VERY low fines, minimal to no dust and a super strong bag are my first impressions. And NO....they don't smell like cat pee or any other weird scent described here over the years. :cheese: WhenI poured the first bag into the hopper there was NO cloud of choking dust. The bulk-rail and re-screening process is definitely working for the best. I will purchase more based on this first experience. Nice , strong bags.....you could package crushed stone in these things! No more worries about ripping bags while re-stacking your stash. As I write this they are burning in the background and are just as hot and clean as ever( if not more so!) No more'' fines fireworks show" in the Accentra. Great job Viridis Energy, and thank you for listening to the customers Mr. Middleton. And thank you Steve@ Long Pond for the test bags to try out!
