My buddy in VT picked these up recently from Perkins in West Chesterfield, NH. I believe they were $7 and change a bag. I was kinda surprised with how they looked and smelled. More like a hardwood pellet vs a softwood. I’ve burned AWFs softies in the past and those were light in color and smelled piney. A few pics: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks for the link! I did do a UPC scan an came up with MWP. Still surprised on the look and smell for a pine pellet.
I recall thinking the same thing the first time I burned MWP softies, they are a darker color than most softwood pellets we see around here. The appearance and smell reminded me of firesides. Think there are different species of trees that go into them, not just pine. The MWP blend is actually a lighter color than the softies, at least in the batches I've seen. Anyway, they all burn good here. If your buddy gave you any to try, I think you will like them.
They're mostly pine (the softwood pellets we're making right now are all pine) which requires more energy to dry, which makes them darker. Production and efficiency are lower because of the increased drying requirements so they cost more to produce.
Nice to see you on here and get an explanation Scot Linkletter I talked with one of your procurement employees about a month ago which was a nice conversation. Over the years I have really watched you guys grow, and wish you the best in your business ventures; without a question your family has integrity.
Burning them now in the cellar stove and like them, thought the same thing "these are darker then their blend" Solid pellet
