    DSCN0207.JPG TSC Lancaster, Ohio received 2 truck loads over the weekend. Manager had them priced at 194.50 a ton, picked up 4 ton. That will hold me for the winter.
    Should be last batch of pellets I buy as I am relocating to St Croix USVI. Two trips with the Dodge, then stacked away in the garage. The old girl did not even know they were there. Yes, I am shipping the Dodge to St Croix. will not give up my truck.

    I'm envious. Can't get them up here. I'm trying...but I doubt it's going to work out for me this year. I made a newb mistake and didn't buy pellets early...now I'm completely regretting it. Maybe I'll print out this picture of your truck with pellets as a reminder to BUY EARLY next spring/summer season.

    Not sure what they have around you, but we drove all over Danbury area checking for pellets. Nothing at all...except for Danbury Agway that only had crap! I think they were "Satisfaction" brand...never heard of them!

    I think Satisfaction and LGs are the same thing aren't they? One of the pellet houses around here sells them as if they are.

    Sounds good, thanks. If they are indeed the same, then yes - they are produced by LG. I think this is one of the brand names they use primarily in Canada, but you will see some here from time to time too. If the price isn't too bad (< $6) , it's worth picking up a few bags to try. A lot of people really like LGs, they are a decent softwood pellet. I would be very interested to see how you rate them compared to the Somersets.
