    Anyone know anything about tractor supply pellets? Do they burn ok..who makes them? My local store has them for $4 a bag.
    I bought some Pennington brand from Walmart last year and that was a mistake...they we're all ash

    A variety of mills provide pellets to tractor supply. Some are good, others not so good. If the ones you are considering come in the tractor supply bag (white bag with blue writing) you will need the UPC number from the bag to determine which mill supplied them. Most times, the pellets at the TSC store in your area will come from a “local” mill. Not always the case though, so post the details - we’re glad to help. $4/bag is a good price.

    Probably will sell for minimum of 375.00. Have to offset the shipping cost If they are real deal from Oregon.

    I hope those aren't Curran pellets....If they are, you may like them even less than the Pennington's

    It looks like that name covers a variety of different kinds of pellets, suspect based on regional availability. Have a look at the wood pellet fuels section of this page.
