Keeping Warm Is A Bit Easier…
by John Weckerle
We find ourselves basking in the glow of a new (to us) brand of pellets in the stove this year. Tiny T’embers premium pellets are a product of Wood You Recycle (aka Mount Taylor Manufacturing of Albuquerque), the makers of the already-known Calientitos super-premium pellets. Having burnt a number of bags, we find ourselves very happy to have discovered them. Without any real experimentation to make us sure, we do think we’re getting a little more bang for our bags – and for our buck, as these have been the lowest-priced pellets we’ve seen this year ($3.72 per bag at the Eubank Costco; they’re in the back, just around the corner behind the vegetable cooler). While we haven’t done measurements, there seems to be substantially less ash per bag as well.
The product is manufactured in New Mexico, by New Mexico residents, using – you guessed it – recycled wood and clean wood waste from forest projects in New Mexico. This is a very good product at a very good price, and it’s additionally satisfying to support an in-State business. We’ve stocked up for this year, and are pleased to note that the manufacturers sell to the public, so if Costco doesn’t carry it next year, we know where to find them!
