But he forgot his avatar............ North American Managing director sounds important! Just kiddin Doug!!
We did try ...very hard and will never say never that we won't in the future, but as you know BM was merged with Lignetics last year and we just couldn't work out something that both sides were happy with and we started to run out of time. Hopefully in the future that may change and we would be more than happy to offer 2 brands of DFir ...but for this season, I am very happy to offer what we have and I know the market will be happy with them as well. Baskins and Robbins has 31 flavors of ice cream, so there is something for everyone. We all have our favorites and even if SYP isn't yours, it is probably someone else's. Each pellet burns just a little different in each stove, depending on what you are heating, sq footage you are trying to heat etc etc... which is one reason we offer 3 kinds of pellets.... Hopefully something for everyone.
Hopefully....but baby steps to start...get this up and running and staying with what I know to start. If I can transport them there and still be competitive in the market, I will certainly look for a dealer(s) in the area that would be interested in stocking...thanks for your interest.
Any plans for more? 3 kinds is a start, But............... No where near the 31 flavors you mentioned!! And the final question I will ask is box store brands. Will you even consider playing with them this go round?
If I could find a hardwood that I think would work..I would certainly entertain that as well...but it isn't at the top of my "to do" list right now.... As far as the box stores...will never say never....but that would be so low on my priority list right now....but truthfully I doubt I will...I just have too much distance to move product to start with....and I don't really sell what the boxes target market is all about.....so nothing in the foreseeable future...
Thanks for all the honest answers. I like the new Doug better than the old. Welcome back to the group again. Hopefully we haven't burned ya out with all of the questions............. We have always been very curious!!
He Doug(Douglas Middleton) , One last from me. You plan on a website or some type of way for customers to find where to get your stuff/ware? I thought that feature was really handy on the Viridis site. Many should have something like that for people to track down the brands they are looking for......
I haven't posted a shameless plug in a while, but I heard Eastern Pa & NJ will have access to all 3 of the Northern Warmth brands at Bucks Pellets very soon.
I think its going to be an interesting season. Times my be slow, Yet from what I see we will have a few more offerings. Doesn't look like too many have bowed out by the looks of it. Okies and WOW is about all I have seen. The rest seem to have weathered and stuck around. Did I miss any? Anyone else see any new stuff? Got to make a list of stuff. Hopefully steve slvrblkk has got his list going too............. Maybe start a new thread of newbies we haven't tried yet? I've got about 5 so far and a couple from last season I never was able to find. Maybe take a run over to artc place if time allows!!
Im seeing still river/blackstones In great numbers all of a sudden. Not new pellets buta a new development
