    From that article...

    "Biomass Magazine in a report published last month says that Corinth Wood Pellets has the capacity to produce about 85 metric tons of pellets a year"

    85? Really.

    Probably 85,000 MT per year sounds more like it...

    I had to laugh reading that article where it says that Corinth consider themselves the premier pellet made in Maine. I certainly don't think that and I'm sure Scot L. doesn't either. I don't know where Corinth sold their pellets but you don't see them around me.

    I want steak on the grill. Good steak at that! I go to the local butcher and get local meats. The butcher knows his meats. Pay a bit more than the supermarket, but it is way better and without recalls.
