Done with pellets

They are all good so long as no payment book attached............

As I've said before there's one real stove maker and one real truck maker. All the rest are imitations!

When I read your comment this is what popped into my head:

Yeah, its pretty silly to base your entire experience on one stove. However with natural gas available I can't see how pellets are worth the hassle, especially with the prices they seem to be up too.

I have natural gas, but prefer my pellet stove for numerous reasons.

Natural gas will be X2 the price soon pellets will be even cost.. just give it time..

Just semi retired my 20 year old GMC sierra with 266,000+ miles on it. It was my daily driver. Purchased 10 yr old subaru forester. My first foreign Jobby. Just wanted something better on gas. Love the heated seats

I dread to see our electric bill this month with 20 days below zero. Glad to have pellet stove. Will have to ick up another ton soon. We have enough till the End of march

not a Harman owner .. but I would never trade out or give up my Lopi AGP, loving that the house is 72 to 74 which is a level that even at 2.50 a gal. with oil I would never have.. so far even on the coldest days, never use more than 2 bags a 24 hour cycle

I also have Natural Gas. My main reason is that for the same amount of $$ I can keep it warm enough in here to keep my wife from complaining non stop.

I'll trade ya (electric bills). We run 6 1500 watt tank heaters all winter for the steers plus the house stuff, electric dryer, stove and incidentals. It's about 400 smackers just for the tank heaters.

I remember those days sidecar. No pigs, no cows, no horses and no chickens left. Just have the wifey left to chase around. And electric fence doesn't keep her in.

Don't miss the livestock any month but especially in winter.

Now days we raise some chickens, turkeys, a beefer, couple of veil calves, and three pigs each spring through fall. All in freezers by mid October and the grown kids and their families do the lion share of the raising.

Home grown meat beats store bought BUT if me and the wife still had to do the raising we would be shopping the meat coolers.

We are a commercial feedlot operation, raising to market weight, the beef you eat in resturants in the east. Most of our steers go to Philly for slaughter and wind up as steak in New York eateries. I can have anywhere from 100 to 200 on the ground at one time.

Little hard on vacations but I can usually squeeze in a hunting trip or two every year.

It's a lot of poop btw.

At least of wheel barrows worth every day eh.

We appreciate your sacrifice

When you sit down to a nice steak at a nice beanery, just think of the farmer tending the steers.....

Ain't no sacrifice. Pays good money. If it didn't I wouldn't do it.

Probably a bad valve or lifter..lol!

March 1st , Know it's been a long winter when taking care of the animals it's 0 this morning and it's not too bad out . In the 70s inside with the stove and will not trade it for anything after this first year .Even with the cleaning every 4 or 5 days it's worth it to be warm with no cutting or splitting or handling wood 3 different times and more of a mess or getting hit with an outrageous fuel bill ,Should have been doing pellets a long time ago. ...On a side note , still driveing our 90 Ford Ranger ,closeing in on 200 K, a little rusty , with a wooden bed now ,but the 4wd works good and it got all the pellets here and will again this year . Like anything else ,take care of it and it'll take care of you .

I'm done with Pellet's as soon as I run out..........this year.
