    A guy from Maine called me guaranteeing this is exactly the same as MWP bag with the cabin picture, it is just that they "ran out of the other bags"......:faint:

    I really hope so......:headbang:

    Has Maine produced any softies this year? I know their most common product is a blend, with the majority being hardwood fiber.....haven't seen a softie yet this year.

    Yes, that's the same pellet. We did run out of the Log Cabin bags a while ago but more have arrived now. The lead time on film is quite long.
    We did make a softwood pellet this year. It's also in a different bag.

    We have before with the softwood pellets, but we didn't this time. We only had a partial roll of bedding film left to bag it in.

    Scot,

    You're probably the guy I spoke to on the phone, remember you called me Friday?

    I am calling the lumber supplier, I got more ripped bags that I've never seen before.
    One pallet had all 5 bags ripped on the top.
    The other 2 pallets had all bags ripped on the bottom. This is because wood pallets were in such a bad shape with nails coming up through the bags. Pellets all over the driveway, on the truck and my garage......
    I am certainly not happy with this delivery. :picard:
