Yeah - I just hate looking at them for 6 months - though it is April and I am still burning pellets arggg! I think I might go with 2 tons of NEWP's for the shoulder seasons as many of the good folks here suggest - I am just so unsure with the mixed reviews of the NEWP's - but $229 is pretty good for where we are.

I'm finding that the NEWP have had LOTS of fines in the bag and I have to clean the stove every couple of days when buring them. That being said, they do put out good heat and at $230/ton in my area right now makes the cleaning worth while and makes for a good shoulder season pellets for me.
 
I'm burning a brand referred to as Summerhill - the label says Wood Pellet Co in big letters and they come from Summerhill PA. The local shop swears by them and it is pretty much all I know. I bought 1 ton of Stove Chow from HD - and quite honestly - they seemed to burn okay - perhaps not as hot.

My stove is a Harman Accentra. This is my first season.

Anyone have experience with the Stove Chow? The label seems to indicate they are made with soft woods (pine?). Am I in for some serious cleaning this spring?
 
Stove Chow is the same as Energex American pellets in a different bag. This is a private label for Home Depot and Lowe's. It is all hardwood. Like any pellet, some people here like it and some people here do not. It is a hardwood pellet and it is not great but not awful either. You will be ok with it.
 
with the big changes in fuel prices, and the "end of season" stuff going on right now with many retailers, now is probably the best time to buy pellets for next year IMO. We got a load of Barefoot in a week or so ago, shipping cost alone was almost $50/ton! Now with diesel topping $4/gallon, I don;t think you'll find too many pellets under $200/ton, even the cheap stuff. Anything worth a damn is gonna be well north of 250.
 
We just got 4 tons of Barefoot pellets from a local guy in NJ for $235 plus $160 for delivery, which comes to about $275 a ton. We're kinda getting ripped off on the delivery fee, but we're asking the guy to help me put everything in the basement.
 
Just ordered a couple tons of Barefoots for $250 per ton and $10 ton delivery. I purchased from the same supplier last year and the price is the same. In my area, Finger Lakes, NY, the price of Barefoot pellets range from $250 - $270 per ton, but fewer suppliers are selling them this year.
 
A customer told me Barefoot is $290 a ton picked up in Syracuse NY area. Seems a bit high I think they had them for $260 last year.
 
I just looked to see the price on Barefoots here in SE MA and they are going for $294/ton.....and it's just July!!!
 
Tri County is now $289 per ton, should make you feel a little better :-)
