Anyone have any hints on pellets in the mid west more like northwestern north dakota?

Been to 2 diff tsc and was discouraged that they seemed to cut back from selling soft wood pellets and only lignetics (red lettering)

Picked up 4 bags, but over the two years ive burned pellets they always seemed dirty or to much dust in the bags. Heat is pretty happy but nothing like the olympus.

I only have tsc, menards, and home depot around me.


Would love to get my hands again on some Olympus pellets.. They had them at tsc before.

You think living in oil field country with no trees around they would ship in some better pellet brands

How about these guys? Softwood pellets produced in your region. (broken link removed)
 
Using TSC, which are DryCreek, and Green Team. Both brands seem to be burning as good as Barefoot, which I used all last year. Price was much cheaper than what I paid for Barefoot,$289 a ton. Got my supply last spring when everyone was unloading pellets. My average per ton for this season is $189 a ton.

Third year burning Barefoot, this year $250/ton l, have 5 ton on hand. Better than last year's production.

Have tried a lot of different brands but keep coming back to BF. Local home depot has stove chow this year, going to pick up 10 bags and see how the XXV burns them; it will burn most anything but I like a premium pellet to minimize cleaning and ash pan dumps.

Few Barefoots left and a few garbage Easy Heats

One ton Cubex Extra

Going to restart the stove tonight and feed it some Stove Chows. Still have a bunch of Energex I bought last year that I need to get to.
Energex makes and distributes Stove Chows..
lot of people who have burned both think they are the same pellets..
either way, u will see little difference..

Exactly...in fact I believe that I found that out from one of your older posts, so thank you! ;)

I really like both of them, especially when Depot drops the price on the Chows below $200, like they did towards the end of last season.
