    O :confused:

    Well we have been swamped with pellets out of CORUNNA MI and they are terrible. Does anybody else have a place near owosso MI are that sells Pro Pellets or Majic Spark ?

    American Pellets are terrible!

    The stores are supporting local according to them and it has made the price go down but still I can't burn them. Way to much ash!

    I think typically pallet companies, that produce pellets, don't produce a "good/decent" pellet. When you're tossing any old scraps into the mix you never know what you're going to get in the finished product.

    Keep checking at TSC our store here kept saying they would only have TSC branded pellets. Went in last Thursday and asked and they had them so I snagged a ton.

    I have seen tons of pro pellets in St.johns. but I don't care for them .

    Menards in Lansing on w. Saginaw had somersets and awf hardwoods

    Saint John's family farm had wd softwoods that seemed OK.

    Self serve lumber is St John's had Vulcan wood, pretty good pellet

    Meijer DeWitt had greenways good pellet.

    I did see pro pellet at saint John's tsc and family farm. Both store pellets outside
