    Thanks.... If you saw the page, you can see as we and others have said,
    Prices for good stuff is now not that far from some brands that are available
    At some chain stores...
    We get a lot of people commenting about that..

    Last year they were bagging/shipping both. Could have been either. Only clue is color. Creamy(AKA blondies) would to be the Okanagan mill. Yellowish(has some darker ones) are the new mill. Almost look like the Golds SYP.

    I don't know what they burn like as I have not tried!!!! But some have said not so good things. Kind of mixed right now, So we are treading lightly.

    Unsure, So just being cautious!!

    It's Dan, not Pete. He's tricky like that.

    Not a problem at all..
    If you visit the site, you can see more info..
    If you call, you will speak to Henry... the owner.. the guy that does all the real work..
    I just do.. well.. whatever I can to help.

    I do all the web work... research... unofficial testing... general bothering..
    and telling him he owes me lunch..
    But seriously.
    No wait... that is serious!! :emb:

    Should I say thanks, or get out of town?? :tears:

    Sometimes, simple is better.
    Gotta be honest... I have new Xara software, but most of our customers tell us that
    they like the simplicity and ease of getting to where they want to go..
    Lots of older customers, not interested/impressed with flash...

    So as we try to give them what they want for pellets, we do with the site as well..

    Dan
    (BTW... I'd do a new site for a truckload in a heartbeat!!!! :))

    Ive used LaCretes ever since my supplier gave me a bag to try for free. Although I know someone who burned Okie Platinum last year and she loved them. Price might be the deciding factor between the two.
