    Pelletsrus.com is supposedly getting La Cretes' in within the next two weeks, not cheap ( $366 ) per skid ( 1.2 ton )

    Pretty scarce around here though.

    Fines seem a bit more this year than in the past. Just my observation. Nothing too terrible though.

    I was wondering which pellet takeman would drop a fith star on, he is awfully stingy with star #5..

    If cretes didnt get it nothing would.

    We'll them Okies Doug Fir kind of ruined it for the others. I almost gave the La Crete's 4, But felt like I'd cheat them. I guess I'll have to give the DF a 6 star rating! ;)

    Die-ing to try the Purcells and Northern Idaho's. Just located Golden Fire not too far from me. Added to the list. ;)

    That's not a bad price for a La Cretes. The going rate around here is ~$6 per bag. They can be had for a bit less (if you can find them) a bit further north (NH). If you are interested, don't hesitate to pick some up at the $366 / 1.2 ton price. They are a great pellet for sure!

    I know, you guys are so lucky! That's less than the "early buy" price at box stores up here!
