Making, Upton does all the bagging for east coast markets. These "should" be the Okanagan mills product. I heard the mill amped up before the shutdown and pumped out alot. What heading to Upton now is coming from the new mill. The new mills stuff "could" be fine?? Its just no one has burned any of them and it leaves questions.
Skeeter if you find time, can you post a picture of the clear part of the bag, showing the pellets inside? Just curious to see if the pellets are a consistent light color or if there are lights and darks in there?
Jay...not totally true...We ship from a warehouse southeast of Montreal, about 5 miles from the Vermont line...not everything comes out of Upton.....and as far as our other mill...we have been shipping out of there for several months and thousands of tons have been burned over last winter and this spring....so no question about the quality of those either...all good....but as a show of good faith, I will tell you that all Okanagan Gold and Okanagan Douglas Fir does come out of the Upton plant.... But thanks for the plug.........
Wouldn't a show of faith be that you guarantee the quality and offer a full refund if anyone is dissatisfied with the product?
CRS gets me, But I coulda swore you said everything was bulked shipped for New England. Just thought due to settling in the bags(AKA as fines) thats why the plant was constructed?? So you still ship some Pallets by rail then?
I will tell you i believe the plant in upton has way way more pellets than i have ever seen before. Pellets stacked in places i have never seen before. I would guess that okie will not go dry this hear. Could always get gold and fir by me last year. Platinums were a bit sporadic, got them later in the year and they burned well very similar to spruce pointes and lacretes. Doug any Telling when the other plants product wouldve gotten into ma? Ton i bought was feb 21 and was fresh to the dealer. If those are the new plants they are quality product.
Besides the Minute Man and Okanagan brand, I'm under the impression there are others brands of pellets distributed out of the Upton plant, is that correct? If so does anyone know what they are?
Thats what I heard, They use the yard as a landing for others. But never got conformation. We need to send daffonce a PM.
Few years back think i saw cleanfires there. Most of what is sitting seems like okie. Would need binoculars to tell.
