a “great deal”? Ok.............
but theres no tax on pellets ANYTIME in MA...they are non-taxable
For the time of year, I thought that was a pretty good deal. In fact, I challenge anyone to find a better one for a premium pellet in central MA!
Regardless, I bought the Canadian. Based on comments from this thread, plus the owner of the store, I went with softwood this year. I was told that the softwood created a longer, more steady burn with less ash and fewer clinkers. Then I talked to a guy at another stove shop, and he said the exact opposite; that the hardwood pellets have those qualities, and that the softwood was crap. Whatever. We'll see what happens this year.
BTW, didn't know pellets weren't taxed! Makes sense, though...
