You can call them MB and see if they're doing a delivery in your area, also I put the link up for 2stoves since he's in Mass but didn't have a town in his sig, I took a shot that he might be close by and if he wanted to he could pick up a starter pack to check them out.
Picked up this set for $4 at HFC. Works well, skewer the cage, shake out the remaining few pellets, remove. Cage is room temp before you can find a place to put it.

still experimenting...i figured out the best option is to fill the space as much as possible to contain the flames. last night I used four large cages stacked 2 by 2 in the center of the Morso with no gap between, like 1 big block. Clearance at top was about 2", with about 4" on either side. Flames were much more controlled, took longer to take off, but had burned hot for a good 4.5 hours when I went to bed. There is ample room on both side for shorties/uglies, that will get it up to temp fatser. I will do this again tonight and take temps/actual duration.
used Nations Best pellets, I don't recommend them; Green Supreme burn hotter/longer. I can't find Somersets anymore.

Still at it...
I took one large cage and cut the top off, not the whole top, but like a tissue box dispenser. So now I can refill without removing the cage.
So I put the one cage in the front, a split behind it, a split on top. With the cage in there i can turn the air way down almost off with the secondarys producing alot of heat. For some reason, the 2 splits in there last alot longer. After about 2-2.5 hours, (I'm burning spruce here) I shove the coals off the top to the rear or sides, then I refill the cage with a gutter cleaner, the long nose scoop tool, then put another split on top. If I start at 6pm, I use about 4-6 spruce splits before i go to bed at 1am with the stove still going. LR/kitchen/DR/FR all 71-72d.
