Western PA, USA
Just got our first load of pellets delivered.......2 tons of Lignetics green label from DoItBest Home Center in Ambridge,Pa.....213.55 a ton plus 50 for delivery........Will wait for later sales to increase our stash for 2012-2013.........Currently in the process of scheduling installation of a Heatilator PS50........Just had a tripp lite surge supressor - Tripp Lite ISOBAR4ULTRA Isobar Ultra 4-Outlet Surge Protector (3330 Joules, 6ft Cord) delivered thru amazon...... Plan on using the tstat that comes with the stove for now but will probably upgrade before next winter to a programmable to take advantage of the swing settings...This forum has provided a wealth of information and really helped us make our decision on a stove,accessories,etc. We cant wait to get this adventure started!!!


P.S. I have enclosed a pic of the stash because from what I understand---A pic or it didnt happen-----LOL



Thanks again and looking forward years of pellet heat from now on!!!


Dave and Debbye

Congrats!
Sorta like the Stork bringing home the new arrival :)

Stash pics are great you should love those.

We also need to see install pics when it happens.

Welcome to the club!

You will love that stove. Always good to see more of the same models on the forum, strength in numbers and all that.
 
Quite an experience isn't it, but I like pellet hunting even more. ;-)

Have fun, and keep warm.

Here is what we are replacing....a heat n glo propane stove.......Our oil fired furnace bit the dust on Jan.20,and we had already been talking about getting away from oil heat.....So this seemed like the perfect time.......Decided for our first stove we wanted reliable heat without a lot of extras and from what we have read we are basically getting a quad in eco choice clothing......LOL They appear to burn most pellets,have a lot of space to work in, and the owners of Quads,Heatilators,etc. seem pleased with the way they perform......Our next stove may have more bells and whistles and who knows,may be a multi fueler......But we are pumped to get up and running!!....


P.s. The dog is our 5 month old puppy Benson who we adopted from Animal Friends in Pittsburgh the day B4 Thanksgiving....We think he is excited as well !!!!!

We loves the pups as well, and have adopted four so far over the years. :cheese:

The pup on the avatar is Skippy a blue healer terrier mix, and he is the wifey's favorite.
She likes him so much that we got him his own puppy (Sage) from the same shelter, and she is a blue healer boarder collie mix.
Benson appears to have boarder collie in him as well you think?

Dogs loves the stoves, enjoy! :coolsmile:

Yes, 1D, Benson is a border collie mix. He's border collie in appearance as well as behaviours. We're all learning together. LOL
 
Nice price on the liggies! Should do fine for you.

Cute dog! Can't wait to see pic's of benson in front of a pellet heater! I bet he likes that much better! ;-)

Looks like a great start..... Looking forward to your install pics.

As far as the Somersets. You can send them an email and they may have a place they ship to, closer to you?? If not, your more than welcome to eat up some of the stock around here. The one Menards had over 60 ton (3,000 bags) of Somersets.

They are definitely family, and have better manners than most of ours. :)
Classes are great, and boarder collies are terrific at agility.
The healers and boarder collies need a job, so Skippy plays ball almost all the time, and Sage...her job is to be Skippy's pup, and part time canine/sheep to herd.
Both are extremely smart, but have totally different personalities.
They are truly awesome family members.

Hey Dex the closest I have found to us is a Southern States in Columbiana----we are on their mailing for their July/August sale....Its about 30 miles from here.....Will probably take 2 vehicles and haul a ton ourselves....
 
The stash of Ligs looks great, and looking forward to seeing pics of the stove.

PS The dog will like the pellet stove MUCH better......see:
