Ligs used to be a solid pellet, however, they have almost got too big. They bag several types and blends. When they were just a hardwood pellet (green label) stating Hardwood, they were great. But now, they have various bags & blends, all of which pretty much suck. Agway in Carlisle sells Energex(hardwoods). Just an o.k. pellet. I have toured the plant in Mifflintown, and they bring sawdust from any & everywhere. With a piss poor economy & building market most mills are scrambling for product. I called Penn Wood flooring in East Berlin, a hardwood flooring co. that only uses there waste, they said you can pick up directly from them. I burned a few tons of Penn pellets in the past, & they had super heat w/low ash. They are a small, local co. & hand bag pellets on a limited basis. I would put them up against any pellet. They are mostly red/white oak. You have to call ahead and place order. The TSC Hardwood Heats are indeed Hammer, but not the Elkin plant ultras, still better than avg. I just picked up 25 bags. They are running $215 ton @ Carlisle TSC. AES is getting more Hammer Ultras in mid Dec. and Ill jump on that. Just call & give your name to reserve a batch. Of course, my pellet quest, is all about my stove. What works for me, might not be as great for you. Happy pellet searching, let's keep each other informed
