Here in NE Pennsylvania just about everyone is out of pellets. When they come they are gone the same day. Even Lowes and HD are empty. One stove store has a 15 bag limit when he gets them in. How is it in your area.

Last year it was ammunition this year it is pellets, go figure. It just goes to show that prepping for the bad times pays off.

Turn the dog loose on the next truck you see go by with a pallet

Lowes in Epping, NH shares an entrance road with Wal-Mart. We went to Wal-Mart yesterday and Lowes had put a sign out in the traffic circle announcing "Wood pellets for sale today". Should have gone by today to see if it was still up.

I got a ton of Hamers a week ago Friday. This was at Cozy Barn in Wind Gap. He had gotten a truck load at 10. I got mine about noon and based on how quickly they were moving he was probably out by 2 or 3.
Box stores out or running low in SE PA. Dealer just got some in but is rationing out. Gotta buy 'em early, especially when cold weather hits.

Agreed, gets your pellets for the whole winter season and don't rely on the big box stores to supply them for you; are you may be out of luck. The last thing you need is some supplier rationing them off and charging you more for it. I get my three or four tons early.
I called Cozy yesterday at 3pm and they had nothing at all. They said next shipment was Wed.
At the time Hamers were all he had and I think he only had one truckload of them.

Here in Central Maine, I picked up a dozen bags of Blazers today from HD ... they were flying out the door at $4.18/bag. Now, what does an Oregon pellet selling in Maine say about supply/demand? I guess I need to change my signature.

Might be the same name game as US Stoves selling Chinese stoves.Here in Central Maine, I picked up a dozen bags of Blazers today from HD ... they were flying out the door at $4.18/bag. Now, what does an Oregon pellet selling in Maine say about supply/demand? I guess I need to change my signature.
I agree. But not everyone is able to. Sometimes people have no choice but to buy a little at a time. That's another advantage to pellets over oil. You don't always have to spend a large amount of money to have a delivery truck come and fill your tank. People have the option to buy it in small amounts as they need it.

Sometimes it can be a storage issue too, if someone lives right in town on a small plot with no storage options.
