    what many consider the best softwood pellet on the market is available @ Cherry Valley Stoves in Andover Ohio. Get a few bags for fall.

    Just curious, what kind of price? I'm paying $294/ton up here in Maine.

    FWIW, Blazers are a touch better. Not much, just a little bit.

    I emailed them about the price, here was their response..lol

    I don’t know what a LaCrete is.

    I'm waiting to hear back again.

    ***update, my bad.....there is a Cherry Valley Stove in Michigan which is who I apparently contacted. Weird thing, they don't know what LaCrete is???***

    I didn't know Uncle Jed's were LaCrete until Smokeshow mentioned it, so you could be right. Once he said that I understood why he liked Uncle Jed's so much.

    Don't forget, LaCrete's were also called Okanagan Platinum,till last December. Okanagan doesn't manufacture pellets for the northeast market anymore. Everything in an Okie bag is bought from other pellet mills. Check out the Viridis Energy website, it's part of their aggregation program, buy other people's pellets and putting them in Okie bags.

    Put down the crack pipe Pellet Guy...you have no idea what you are talking about....yes, our Douglas Fir and Gold product is made from other companies, but Okie Platinum's are just that..they are not LaCrete's and we still produce product out of our Kelowna BC plant...that gets shipped to our warehouse in Quebec and bulked to our packaging plant in MA....so get your facts straight before you start spreading falsehoods....our industry has enough crap in it without you adding to it....

    According the the press release Doug posted here last October, Okie Platinums would become more readily available in NE (follow a few years of sparse availability) via acquisition of 45K tons from a different manufacturer in western Canada, so I doubt 100% of platinums sold in NE today are the "original" platinums of old. Maybe Doug can shed some fresh perspective on this.
