    I dont have a choice, this softwood brand or the other softwood brand. One works MUCH better for me than the other. Ash and clinkers and fines.

    DH bought a bag of Lignetics (cannot remember hard/soft), and I could not tell a difference.....

    When Okies was using BC blondies most couldn't tell the difference. Great pellet, Loved em!!(Also rumored that Viridis used the same mill as La Crete's for a short time when the BC mill had siding issues and could bulk ship to upton...... Doug would not confirm).

    The BC mill is now down for upgrades and other reasons(safety violations). Viridis is now using the Diacarbon mill. Which is primarily an industrial pellet mill! So quality could be in ??? :zip:

    IMHO Why chance it, Go with the one that isn't in question!! Just sayin(and I'm sure I'll hear about it too!!).........................

    Must be $360, that's the going rate around here. If they are $260, I daresay DBJ just found the deal of the season!
