sometimes a good offence is offensive ( not a defense) and although I think you mean well, it must be awfully hard to work for the CEO and CFO of Viridis. Maybe they don't "keep you in the loop".But don't you ever claim I don't have my facts right. Just because pellet mills are in close proximity doesn't mean they draw from from the same fiber basket. For instance a mill located 78 miles from your west kelowna plant is producing a whole different pellet. It's an industrial pellet for Korea. The links and the test results are below. They are putting bark in their product. Their mission is to produce biochar. http://www.diacarbon.com/ I'm not saying this is your "new supply". You and I both know very little of the original product goes into the Northeast market. Only those customer's getting 60 bag per pallet are getting the original. Oh, by the way interesting article from the Vancouver Sun http://www.vancouversun.com/WorkSaf...st+concerns+pellet+plants/10089375/story.html Maybe your CFO forgot to tell you they've been down for 2 months. In a civil discussion you were way out of line to claim "crack pipe" and "getting facts straight". The only company that doesn't come clean with the facts is Viridis.You are doing the best you can under very difficult circumstances. Maybe you just don't know the facts.
yea, OP was talking about Lacrete's in Ohio. Personal discussions about stuff like this is not enjoyable reading, not necessarily accurate, and insulting to parties......my vote is that stuff of personal nature doesnt belong here. That being said, glad I have alot of pellets!
Point well taken. I happen to agree with you. I obviously waited some time before posting. Debating back and forth. You won't hear anything more from me on the subject, but I felt I had to defend myself from an insulting attack.
the jury is out! you haven't tried the Olympus. lol http://www.olympuspellets.com/Home.html many in the west here think this is the "King of the Hill" Clean Burn, Blazers and Bear Mountain ( okies) are all great. it's very subjective. If your dealer has Lacrete, North Country, or the Platinum pellets. he has access to the Olympus. Brand new in the northeast this season.
Still have a dealer in my area that refuses to sell DF. If the Olympus are any where near the quality of the Bear Mountians? I'm sure they will sell well.
J....even he has caved and has some in stock...not on his website yet...but has taken delivery....he is a businessman and realizes that the market is wanting them...so he did bring some in...I have a good source on this...
well, Johnny-come-lately to this discussion, but, J, if all the folks local to you refuse to buy the primo DF pellets, why should the retailer invest in product that you all tell him (by reason of your buying choices), wont sell? I dunno.....sometimes I seem to have a firm grasp for the obvious.....
Same reason a car dealer I know has a super expensive luxury car on his lot. Brings people in to look at it and talk about it but in the end they leave with a 5 year old Corrola.
Of course pellets are a little different. But maybe drives traffic to those that want to try a bag or two.
Or they simply get tired of missing business when someone has their mind set on getting "the good stuff" and you can't provide, cause you don't have it in stock...that hurts too....some dealers just took longer than others to be convinced it would sell in "their" market. But once they did, most have found out the demand is much greater than they ever expected it to be...for most customers, it's something they try out of curiosity, only to discover they don't want to burn anything else....I have seen that happen literally 100's of times now and the demand for upper end pellets in NE and the North East only continues to grow...its great to see.
