Buying Wood Pellets for 2010 winter

    Just wondering if many people have looked into getting wood pellets for the coming winter and how it compared to last year. Very new to Boards, so if this is in the wrong area of there is already a thread going on this please let me know.
    I'll start:- I'm in the Limerick/Clare region. August 2009 I bought 150 bags(2 pallets), at 18.1kg per bag of Green Heat Pellets for Eur770 delivered. That's Eur283 per metric tonne. :) If I remember correctly, I think there was Eur50 or Eur100 charged for transport. The pellets burned great but were very, very dusty. This was an issue when loading them as it put dust everywhere and also meant that I had to clean out the burner much more often.:mad: I'm not saying that I wouldn't buy the same pellets again, but the dust would have me looking elsewhere. Before I bought in bulk, I did try a few other brands of pellets bought by the bag locally. They all seemed to burn the same but the Green Heat Pellets were the most dusty.
    Anyone out there have some info to give, stories to tell?

    Thanks for the reply,
    I was hoping to compile peoples experiences of buying pellets:- availabilty, cost, packaging, delivery etc and what they thought of them in terms of burning, dust, ash etc. So, Do you have any more info to share.

    Sorry Dr Dave, mostly second hand info, availibility and delivery(3 tonne min) is not an issue any more, the rest is open to boards-land

    Just thought I'd add a bit of info myself.
    Had a good look around. Of interest are; Kedko were Eur359 for 80x15kg bags delivered. I went with Next Gen Heat, 80x15kg bags delivered for Eur373. They were also able to supply a part I needed for my stove so the extra Eur14 was worth it. These pellets (GWP) were much less dusty than our previous ones. Wondering how others got on.
