Good Evening, When I placed a phone call to Pacific Coast Pellets several weeks ago, to inquire as to who may be carrying their "Olympus" branding of Douglas Fir here in Connecticut (My Pellet Store in Enfield - will no longer be carrying them), they advised they don't have anyone local in CT. I mentioned about testing the bags of Olympus I did purchase from MPS and some bags of the New Oakie DF, and that was when I was told that they were providing the DF product for the current Okanagan Douglas Fir product. They both looked and burned the same. Who knew.
Ok, so the same guy just told me that Cascade Pellets, Sierra Supreme Pellets, Olympus Pellets, Coastal Farm Store Pellets, and some other local brands are the same.
Also, "in 2011 the Shelton facility and another closed Atlas plant in Hauser, Id. were acquired by PCFF of Spokane. Though the Shelton mill has re-started, there are no current plans to re-start the Hauser facility". So all these brands are made in Shelton now. And they're all the same pellet.
JT could be wrong but am pretty sure Orford are only sister brand with Ambiance manufactured by Valfei whom recycle's 100% hardwood by products from furniture and hardwood flooring manufacturers. I do not think they are re-bagged Eagle Valley's which are softies . I have burned a lot of both and they are not one in the same the Eagle valley and Ambiance. Wish they were Eagle Valley at $219.00 a ton spring sale Check their website Wholesale Wood Pellet Manufacturer | Valfei
o Orford also rebags softies. I havent seen em in a while, but did get a ton for $199 in the year of the crazy sale.
Same here. The traditional Orford wood pellets are the hardwoods, however they do distribute softies as well, they are re-bagged Eagle Valley. Picked some up for $199 at the same time daffonce did. Still have a load of them in the stash, in fact. If you look at BT’s website you will see they are still advertising them for sale. Price isn’t quite as good though... Price List
Dang missed that sale would have been nice , wonder if they are going to continue to sell them guessing not as they are not on their website but you never know. JT apology granted I stand corrected sir . Wish I could have grabbed some of them at that crazy price ! Hmm *eyeballing TT stash* Northeast CT not to terribly far away
