I've seen these in small quantities at two local TSC stores. 100% softwoods. Anyone have the scoop on them?
Capital Forest Products' website says they are a cedar shake and shingle distributor. They also show natural cedar mulch as a seasonal product (along with the pellets), so my guess is cedar. Do I win a prize if I'm right?
BT Enterprizes used to get the hardwood blend a while back. Brian told me that he though they were made by Corinth IIRC. Capital Forest Products doesn't have/own a mill IIRC.
tt....a few years back HD had a pallet or two of them and I grabbed a couple bags. They burned like crap in my old pdvc. Very small busted up pellets and turned my glass black in no time but like I said that was a while ago. IIRC bag had a lot of fines in it too.
That's about what I remember. And that was about what we were getting from the Corinth. I do believe they revamped their process and bounced a few slacker(personal). gbreda has burned some of the newer stuff and liked it. They are also the mill that is supplying the softwood blend for Inferno golds. And I have a contct that has burned their latest softwoods and found them to be pretty decent. Although not outstanding like a BC softy or a Vermont. But rather worth trying if score reasonable. I have yet to see any of their softies in my area. Its its been a few seasons since BT carried their blend!! But like any pellet I just have to get the scoop and burn them just because!!
Thanks guys. I don't have high hopes for these. All of the pallets have some kind of damage, leading to exposure to the elements, it's uncanny. Not sure if it's mis-handling, poor wrapping, or what. I'm not sure if I can get a couple decent bags of them even if I wanted to. I will try, of course - like any good pig would! But my expectations are low.
