Pellets

Will you guys be carrying pellets this year and if so....what kind and how much?

What kind of a stove would I need to heat a finished basement of approx. 1100 sf?

I got Rocky Mountain and I think they have a Heartland brand. The Rocky Mountain will be burned when it gets cool enough and I will report back.

We are carrying the Rocky Mountain Pellets and the Black Hills Gold Pellets - Black Hill Gold is a tradename for Heartland. The price per ton is $260.00 for the Rocky Mountain and $324.00 for the Black Hills Gold. The difference is that the Black Hills Gold Pellets are a long ton (60 forty pound bags - 2400 pounds) whereas the Rocky Mountain Pellets are 50 forty pound bags (2000 pounds).

Do you carry the beetle-kill pellets made up in Kremling? What do you think of them vs the other brands? We're new to the pellet stove thing and still figuring it out before the cold weather hits. The rental we're moving into next weekend has a pellet stove (which Inglenook serviced and did a great job!) and we've never used one before.

The beetle kill pellets from Kremling make chunkers, not my fav. The Rocky Mountain burn hot and pretty clean.

Ok, what the heck is a chunker?

Hmm, last I knew the Rocky Mtns were also beetle kill pellets and from Walden, CO. All pellets chunk/clunk/etc. to some extent.

Yes some more than others, Chunks,clunks, form kind melded rock, if you don't get them out they can screw up your fire pot by getting too hot and warping it. All pellets do this, just some brands more than others.I try to mix a little , Heartlands are softer and don't burn as hot so chunk/clunks don't form as quickly. Only my observation and I have no idea if the stove size matters.

Thanks!!
