I recently bought a weekend home in Palenville, a Hamlet of Catskill, NY…read more Even though I was hardly there this past year, I had to keep my electric baseboard heat on 24/7 to avoid freezing pipes. My electric bills were through the roof. I decided to buy a wood pellet stove to help offset these utility bills now that I expect to be there more often. After doing my research, I realized that whatever pellet stove I bought, in order to have it work efficiently and increase it's overall useful lifespan with the least amount of breakdowns, it is critical to burn a high quality pellet. What is a high quality pellet? Generally, a brand that produces minimal ash, has a low moisture content, produces the maximum amount of BTUs per pound, and is free of plastics, glues, and other non-wood substances. I also needed a reliable source that can also deliver my order when needed in a timely fashion. On the internet, everyone seems to have their favorite brand/type of pellet. Hardwoods, sotwoods, mixed, yada yada yada. I was confused. Then, Slater's Smart Shop and Wood Pellet Store was recommended to me by a local businessman and resident of the Catskills. Boy was that man right. I went over to Cairo and met the owner, Justin, and had a great experience. Justin and his Dad are the nicest people and super knowledgeable about wood pellets. They carry an EXTENSIVE choice of wood pellet types and brands. Justin, with great patience, took the time to answer all my questions and made some great recommendations and I ended up purchasing what is generally considered the BEST wood pellets on the market. The internet reviews substantiate that. I walked away with a great wood pellets purchase and the confidence that I was getting exactly what I wanted/needed for my new pellet stove to function at it's maximum efficiency. Need wood pellets? Don't purchase them from anywhere else except Justin at Slater's Stop Shop and Wood Pellet Store. If I could, I would give them 6 stars.

Just went into this shop to buy beer. My friend lost his ID and showed a picture of it, and she…read morewouldn't let him buy it. So I showed the cashier my physical ID and I would buy it. She refused to sell it to us because she said it's illegal for her to sell it to me after someone with no ID came up with it. My friend is 3 years older then me. The cashier is in the wrong and doesn't know the law because I can buy it since I have my ID and it's my responsibility on what happens with the beer afterwards. Honestly this place should train their staff better since their staff are incompetent and should know what the law truly is. Never will come this place and recommend my friends in the area to avoid this place going forward.

Was confused with the new styling of the pumps. Although I saw the scanner to scan some type of card, when I went to insert my card (like I used to have to do to most Speedway places) it took it. Are the new pumps designed to scan the barcode of the card without inserting the card or what is up with that barcode scanner (what is it used for)? (The last time I was forced to use a brand new updated pump at a Speedway, the pumps pay-at-the-pump was down and couldn't get my GasBuddy card to work correctly(another station at another time), but that astounded me finally.
