    Another pellet I hope to possibly score cheaper in the off season. I would take either these or Vanderhoof Platinum's for my stash :D

    I've burned La Crete exclusively this season; like them a lot. If I had to come up with one negative I'd say they're a little dusty. However, heat is great and these are making stove cleaning easier than washing dishes.

    I saw an online add today for my stove dealer. I was surprised to see he's selling Platinum's for more that Lacrete, $299 compared to $289.

    Very happy with the one bag of LaCrete's that I received as a present and put away for a bone-chilling day - which came last weekend :thumbs:

    Unless things change drastically from this year,
    I see La Crete, here, to be within $25-30 of the GS at the BBS... again.
    That's what we had them at this year, (285 vs. 259) can't see a huge change relatively for next.
    Possibly a little less at the very beginning of the season.
    We did that last year, to promote early buying, and it helped a lot to
    lessen that 'fall rush'...

    I've burned La Crete as well this year(a couple tons last year / this year they're my entire stash of 4ish tons). Burn very clean, glass stays clean, serious heat.
