Im going to grab some when they come in but7.00 a bag is very high in my opinion. Hope to find a cheaper pellet if possible. Hopefully home depot will get some more in. I thought I planned it out well. Went through one ton then had 3 tons delivered after I burned through half of the first. Space is the problem. Where and I supposed to store 5 tons?
Pellet Shortage?

Check tractor supply in brentwood, they had five tons stacked by the road this morning. Paid $219 for MWP several months back, not sure what they are charging now. Aubuchon in lee also had at least a dozen tons stacked out front last weekend but you may want to look elsewhere - they want $6 / bag for infernos and green supreme

Thanks Dan and everyone else. Got a weeks worth from McManus, nice guy. Just out of shipping range and the Pontiac can only hold so much lol. A&B lumber still out, has been out for months, used them for vermonts last year but useless this year. McManus has LGs which are $1 more then box stores a bag which is fine if they are closer to vermont quality on heat.
Dan, same Dan as the creator of McManus website? Didnt put it together till I got home lol.
Just about everyone around here is out and my local TV store where I have already bought 3 tons of Hamers for $250 a ton Is rationing them at 10 a bag. This pisses me off since you lose the $50 ton discount.

Plenty of pellets at our local wallmart. $5 a bag. They also have a full spring display out for weeks already. Is anyone REALLY buying gas grills and dragging them over giant piles of snow in order to wait a few more months to actually use them. It seems like they are TOO far ahead of the curve.

Lets see them try and get those propain tanks filled. Those tanks were already 3 times the going rate of bulk so 4gallons times 3 times $5 is $60. Maybe a comeback of wood fired grills? HD was rolling out the mowers and grills here in MN week after Christmas.

I just exchanged 2 tanks at weis markets,same price as always. $19 Still $5 a gallon. Local oil co fill em for $13 so a little better, but if your tanks are outdated you can only exchange em at a Rhino exchange ,they are everywhere around here. I use em for spot heat in construction,not the gas grill which wont see any action for 4-5 months.
I saw big displays of grass seed and fertilizer. ground is frozen solid under 8" of snow.

I lucked out when someone was getting rid of some RV supplies and they had a bulk tank liquid tap with hose and tank adapter valve to fill their camper and have been filling our portables for bulk price. And that's a lot as I have over a dozen tanks from 100 down to 5 #. Best $50 I spent that summer.
