Tractor supply CRAP

[heat seeker]

My TSC stores them outdoors. I look the bags over as I load them into the car, and any that I question the employee removes, no questions asked. Usually it's a ripped bag, but I've seen a bag or two that got wet inside. Inside storage would be better, but the place that does that wants $6/bag for pellets that burn no better.

There's a lumber mill down the road that I'm going to check out next week to see what he carries - if I can get through the mud/snow in his lot.

Have you ever been to My Pellet Store in Enfield? Unlimited supply of super premium pellets.

Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out - thanks!

Instant Heat was one of the brands I was looking for theis season. A friend said they were much better than previous seasons. I can't find any loaclly.

tsc in farmington is bouncing back and forth from main woods and the instant heats. the instants were ok, im not obsessed with tracking them down. the flame was a memorable "white" if sub $195 id pull up to tsc with my bros dump truck, and have him waiting in my driveway with his forklifts...

That 90% of manufacturers and retailers do it. If they are packaged, handled, and palletized correctly it makes no difference whatsoever between indoor and outdoor storage. The one bad batch of clumpy pellets I have gotten in over 10 years of pellet use was from pellets stored INDOORS. (probably stored outdoors in the originating mill, of course).

I like TSC. You can't blame the retailer for the sins of the manufacturer.

I have had very good luck with the Tractor Supply. Ive purchased a few tons from there and maybe one bag had issues but other than that its been a positive experience.

And vise a versa. Most damage I see at the box stores is caused by rough handling. Usually the youngsters on the forklifts.

And then there's us, You know the ones that rip the covers to see what's under them. Folks, Don't rip them. If you press the cover against the bags inside you usually can see whats writen on the bags. Or just wonder in the store. Most likely they will have open pallets on display. Leave the covers unripped, Could be one of us pellet pigs coming to buy them! ;-)
