Store pellets without the bags!  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Enjoy the convenience of having your wood pellet fuel delivered in bulk right to your home. The PelleStore 3TX is a self-contained pellet storage container that will hold about 3 tons of pellets for use as you need them.  You'll never have to carry another 40 pound bag of pellets, or dispose of the plastic bags.  Just put a container under the discharge tube of the PelleStore 3TX, open the slide gate releasing pellets into your container, close the gate when you have enough, and you have your pellets for the stove in a container that's easy to handle without any mess.

As your bag gets close to empty, call Maine Energy Systems for a refill.  Pellets are available all year 'round at competitive prices, so you won't have to worry about whether they're available at the local hardware store or superstore outlet again. Please understand that these bags and their bulk filling are currently available in the Bethel market area, in North Conway at Jesse E. Lyman Oil Co., in Lewiston at Heutz Oil Co., and at all five Hancock Lumber outlets in Casco, Bridgton, Brunswick, Windham, and Yarmouth.
