Purchased a GCI60 insert today

Well, i have been shopping around for the last few weeks, have been looking at Mt Vernons and the GCI60. I have gotten 2 prices from 2 different places on the Mt Vernon, and 4 prices from 4 different places on the GCI60.... I talked to my closest dealer at the local fair about pricing me a GcI60 and he said he had a demo he would sell for 30% off... So I emailed him on monday and got a quote.. not bad... well I had the day off from work today so i went down to the showroom. Checked out the Demo stove which looks like brand new. Its about 8 months and has all the latest updates. He said since its been a fairly slow summer they have barely used this stove. Was talking to the salesman and for haha's asked him the price.. he said 50% off.. I was like, what?? can you double check that. I ended up putting a deposit on it. Out the door with a chimney kit, install and tax was somewhere around $2990! About an hr after this, i get an email from another local guy on the same stove with chimney kit and install... $5300....
Anyways, im pretty excited and cant wait to get it installed. Time to go pellet shopping....

Anyone have any input on pennington pellets? A friend of mine says they are a high grade pellet and he buys them at sams club for $220/ton...

thanks guys- Im excited to get it in and get pictures up. Got my install town permit today... now its just a waiting game. The place i bought the stove from is coming out for a site visit next week, and then let me know when it will get installed.

Im thinking of buying a ton of greene team and stove chow...... but still looking around..........

Love any input you guys have

I have never heard of long pond until last night, searching around i came across it. Im not to far from plainfield, thats where i bought my JD tractor.
I may grab a ton of pellets from them to compare. I figured i would get a ton of a few different one. Im hoping to get buy this winter with 3 tons, but ill probably just end up getting 4 tons since this will be my first year with a pellet stove! Thanks for the advice.
