    Total pass on cheasy heats for that price!

    MWP like bb said are great all around pellet for that cost.

    PurHeat is another oak based hardwood pellet that I have heard good reviews about, But I have not tried myself(never found in my area). But definitely would take a chance over the cheasy heats for sure! I'd say they would be close to a sets comparison with slightly more ash continent than I've seen on the sets 0.045 compared to <0.06%

    Easy blaze and Easy heats are not the same. Easy Blaze would trounce the cheasy heats from my previous experience. They didn't get the name cheasy heat for no reason. slvrblkk also had a yuk experience from cheasy heats IIRC.

    Going to mass in a week. Not sure how there liquor works? Is it tight and state controlled? I'm always looking for allocated stuff, I don't expect to find any though. It's nice to find some good store picks like, Russell, four roses, knob creek, eagle rare. Wasn't sure if anyone had any insight?

    Liquor stores are not state controlled here. Some supermarkets even sell liquor, but there are bigger package stores everywhere, and you should be able to find what you want.

    The front entry way. I guess that's what you call it? Maybe a coat room? Thats likely what we will use it for.

    Found a bit of termite damage, I took the board out to the fire pit and burned it. No critters came out. I'll likely spray that area JIC before I put the insulation in.

    Good plan - you definitely don't want those things.

    I believe they were under water in the heavy rain/flooding last week in Leominster.

    If you do not mind saying so, which Home Depot store is this?

    Make a deal with the Home Depot store manager or the manager of the Garden Department. Offer him $25
    to $50 per ton and you will clean up that mess. If the math is easier for the Home Depot employees, you
    can make the offer on a per bag basis, such as 12.5 cents to 25 cents per bag. Borrow from Home Depot
    or else bring a broom, dust pan, and shovel.
    Bring a lot of buckets, plastic bags, and some string. Put each torn pellet bag into a larger bag.
    If you have a Harman stove, the damaged pellets will burn fine, no problem. If you live close enough to the
    store, then making multiple trips is no problem. Be sure not to over load your vehicle.

    Pellets that are wet mush can go into your compost pile.

    Even if you offer to purchase some or the whole pile, Home Depot can not deliver; they will lose money on the
    delivery costs.

    Figure it this way, it will cost Home Depot money to pay their own employee (who made the mess) to move the
    damaged bags into a dumpster and it will cost money to haul away and empty the dumpsters.

    Like I said it’s in Leominster mass. The parking lot is in a low spot and was flooded last week. Im pretty sure the pellets are junk and I have absolutely no use for them. Just figured id share the pic.
