    I've been burning the Uncle Jeds Cold Remedy for the last few years, very consistent, an excellent pellet i think. I've been seeing the Rib Mountain pellets for a bit cheaper and before i buy 3 or 4 tons thought i ask for opinions of them.
    Thanks guys

    I've burned both. The Ribs are pretty much identical performance wise. You may notice a bit more dust, although the Jeds I bought last year were a bit dusty. I have 3 tons of Ribs for this year.

    Will do, the Jeds have been great, very consistent, and i will probably get 2 tons of the Jeds and 2 of the Rib's blend. Looks like the Jeds will be $240 and the Ribs $220 per ton.

    Didn't know you were asking about the blend. I was referring to the pine Ribs.

    My bad for assuming. It seems to me a pure softwood would perform better then one with hardwood mixed in. What's the old saying?








    Try before you buy. :D

    It's an $8 difference between the blend and the straight soft(oldman)wood. Quess a ton of each and see how it goes.
