DO YOU HEAT YOUR HOME WITH WOOD PELLET FUEL?Yes we do. We’ve been burning wood pellets for many years now. We are constantly working to improve or add to the brands that we carry. So along with burning the wood pellet brands that we carry, we try to burn a few bags of 20-25 other brands each year to see how they compare.
DO YOU SELL BAGGED COAL?Yes we do. We’re proud to carry Blaschak bagged Anthracite coal in Rice, Nut and Pea size. Blaschak is mined right here in Eastern Pa.
WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?We do a visual inspection of each and every ton of heating fuel that leaves our greenhouse and when they’re delivered to your home. Although all of our skids are covered with a plastic sleeve, shrink wrapped or both, we highly recommend that you store them inside or under cover to protect them from the weather. Please do a visual inspection upon receipt of your heating fuel. If you happen to receive one or more bags of pellets that were damaged or ruined due to moisture prior to receiving them, please contact us within 7 days and we’ll be happy to replace the damaged bags.
WOOD PELLETS
DOES SOFTWOOD BURN FASTER THAN HARDWOOD?Softwood: The Misunderstood Pellet : Softwood pellets have been getting a bad rap because of incorrect information given to customers. Many people think because it is a softwood that it will burn faster. This is not true. It does burn hotter so you will need to regulate your stove settings then sit back and enjoy the heat! Wood pellets, whether hard or soft have a similar density, therefore will have similar burn times. Softwood pellets will produce a much lighter and fluffier ash and also have the added benefit of clean burning resins that ignite for the higher BTU value.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR SOFTWOOD BRANDS?They’re all awesome. All of our softwood pellets burn hot and clean compared to just about any other brand that you’ll find in this market. The difference comes down species of saw dust used in production and which one your stove prefers. Please refer to our comparison chart.
WHAT IF I RECIEVE DAMAGED WOOD PELLETS?We stand 100% behind all of the products that we sell. Please keep in mind that some of our wood pellets travel nearly 3,000 miles to get here. So nicked, water damaged / skids do occur on occasion. We do ask that our customers do a visual inspection of their wood pellets within 7 days of pick up or delivery. However, we understand that sometimes water damage isn’t always apparent until the bag is opened. No need to worry. Just send us an email or give us a call and we’ll be happy to makes things right.
CAN I PICK UP PELLETS WITHOUT PLACING AN ORDER ONLINE?Absolutely!! You’re more than welcome to stop by our shop anytime during our open pick up hours. We usually suggest that you place an order or contact us ahead of time, so we can pull your product from inventory and have it ready when you arrive. This helps to expedite your pick up. But is not necessary.
HOW MUCH ARE YOUR WOOD PELLETS?We carry 7 brands of wood pellet fuel by the bag and by the skid. Pricing varies from brand to brand. All of our current inventory and pricing is available on our Store / Order Now page.
