I have used New England Pellets exclusively for 14 years and don't even really know why I'm considering a change other than pricing. I have a large group of friends that get together and coop purchase about 50 tons a year. The biggest issue is we have to arrange the trucking from NH (we have the trucks and trailers). By the time you figure in fuel and time spent, we feel like it was worth it, but in all reality it probably wasn't.
