    There are several bulk pellet users in Maine. Many municipalities, and schools, and there's one business that uses 10,000 tons per year. They are still saving money over oil.
    These pellet burners are still not large enough to use industrial grade pellets. The business mentioned last for example uses a European design which requires an I2 (European standard) particle size distribution to operate efficiently.
    There is a savings to burning pellets in bulk, but it does require an investment and some work to maintain.

    Maybe a little movement in S New England. Wouldn't be a bad price for here on the LaCrete. Blazers still too high.

    There must be a pretty good Mark up on these pellets normally if they can get away with selling them for $200 a ton.
