    I went and looked today at Home Depot, tractor supply and a true value near me. Home Depot and tractor supply had green supreme northeastern blend for $259. The true value had insta heat, New England, dry creek and barefoot. Barefoot is $317 a ton, dry creek is $289, ne is $259. I’m kinda stuck with crap pellets unless I want to pay at least $300 a ton.

    I think out of all those, I'd probably just go with what you can get the cheapest. How much are the Instantheats?

    They’re not. Go with the chows, for sure.

    Edit: HD also has the option if you buy 6+ tons they cost $219 each. Not sure if you need that much, maybe split it with a friend and get a good deal?

    Found a place to get cubex for $289 a ton but heard they are t as good as they used to be. So it’s either chows for $249 or dry creek for $289
