    damm it. It sucks sooo bad not having good pellets around me. If they do have good pellets the prices are outrageous.

    I believe your correct and what makes it more interesting is that they're from West Virginia.

    I have never burned cubex. From what I have heard they are kinda hit and miss every year.

    Just got 3 bags of these to try. Think they are the same as the ones you got. Figured for $4.58 a bag can’t go wrong. 5C7A2D00-8041-4FE6-B46D-CD40BEA6B525.jpeg 70582B7D-2898-4653-8CD9-3576666A3CDE.jpeg

    Never had a bad experience with Cubex but I have only been burning 3 years and they have been the most consistent pellet out of any I have burned and that being always great.

    Love when you can score off FB or CL. Last summer I got 26 bags of Vermont's for $50. Unfortunately they are now buried in the garage under some TSC's so it is possible I may not even burn them this year - depending on how the burning season turns out.

    I had to look at the ad several times to believe my eyes when I saw that price. Was also super surprised that no one had grabbed them already - the add had been up for a couple of days. Maybe because it was put up in the middle of the week or people hadn't been looking for them. I just happened to do a search for wood pellets on a whim.

    I’m actually pretty impressed with these Appalachian hardwood Green supremes. Hardly any ash in my stove. Heat comparable to I would say north country I tried last year. Not horribly dark, about as dark as the blazers I have but seem to have less ash. There is a little dust in them but not horrible. Haven’t really had much fines in the bag. Some of the pellets are a little long but.... I mean for the price I don’t think you can go wrong. I’m going to head up and get a ton while they still have them. They said they had 4 ton left so hopefully by the time I get up there they still have some. I mean for around $220 a ton you really can’t go wrong.
