BMT Brand Wood Pellets

BMT Brand Wood Pellets are the first wood pellets packaged in a Burlap Bag with Drawstring. This is putting renewable energy in reusable and environmentally friendly packaging.

BMT Wood Pellets @ Long Pond Ct

The wood pellets have been tested to have a BTU rating of 8250 btu’s and an ash content of .4 %. This is a good middle of the road pellet packed in a beautiful BMT brand burlap bag instead of a commodity grade synthetic bag.  BMT is looking to you, the consumer, to work with their selected dealers to recycle these bags. Simply put the bags aside until you purchase the next ton or pick up a few single bags at your retailer and return the bags. NO DEPOSIT is required – this is voluntary but highly recommended to return.

Customer feedback so far has been: “great looking bag, very easy to handle,  stack well, durable,  love the fact we can bring the bag back,  pellets are good quality,  relatively clean,  great idea”

Long Pond Hot Tub | Fireplace | Fence is one of the exclusive retailers of BMT brand Wood Pellets.

 

Wood Pellets in Ct

Wood Pellets in CT

There is a large variety of Wood Pellets available this year in Ct. Some Good, Some Not. Wood pellets come in varying quality for a number of different reasons. The main component of quality stems from the fiber source used in the manufacturing process. The best quality wood pellets come from pellet mills that can control the fiber. Those that make hardwood flooring or mill Framing lumber such as 2 X 4 ‘s have been the most consistent as far as the best pellets. These pellets are consistently good or great year after year and and provide great heat and low ash. Some of the best brands that meet this quality are Somerset , Cubex, Turman, Anderson,Okanagan , Dragon Mountain. There are others but these are the more well known in the Connecticut area.

A gentleman right here in CT spent quite amount of time this past winter compiling testing of at least 40 brands of pellets that at some time during the year were sold in the state. His name is Jay Takeman and his results can be found at this link http://www.hearth.com/ and also http://www.hearth.com/.  
After reading this exhaustive study you come to the conclusion that there is a tremendous difference in pellet quality. This results in different heat output, ash content and cleaning of your pellet appliance.

As for the price of wood pellets they vary almost as much as the quality of the pellet themselves. The only drawback is some pellets with high prices are not necessarily the best quality. Many pellet brands are priced within a few dollars of each other per ton or bag. Your job as a consumer is to educate yourself and purchase the best quality wood pellet you can find at the same price or perhaps less than those of lesser quality. Do your research and purchase from a retailer that stands behind the product, is knowledgeable about the differences in quality and is going to sell your products that he/she would not be ashamed to burn in there own pellet burning appliance.

At Long Pond  we take pride in the products we sell and burn every pellet that we stock. In the past we have sold inferior product and will not step back in quality just to make a sale. As our customer we want you to be satisfied with your purchase. It is a long winter and you need to stay warm. Remember, Winter is almost here. Buy some pellets!

Eden Wood Pellet Review

I just completed burning 3 bags of the Edens in the Enviro M55 Cast on setting 2.  Good heat, relatively low ash ( kind of grainy ) the glass is a little stained but not bad. My overall impression is much better than I had anticipated with this pellet. Mennilly’s Wood Pellets was right about the dust – poor slowly. The funny thing about this pellet is it is so dense the pallets look like they are short a row and the bags seem a little empty. They weigh 40 lbs..  I am not sure if they will last as long as a less dense pellet because every turn of the auger will feed in a certain amount of pellets – with less actual pellets will a bag last as long. hmmm. This is a new wood pellet manufactured in Chesapeake, Virginia.  Test done over three days in October at Long Pond Hot Tub | Fireplace | Fence in the Plainfield, Ct village of Wauregan.
