Does everyone have there stash ready to go for the fall or are you still waiting to order. My official stash for 2015/16 season includes 3 ton of blazer and 275 gallons of fossil fuel. What do you guys have?
 
Left over from last year: 1 ton of Curran's HW/SW mix, 1/2 ton of FSU's. Hope to get a couple of tons delivered in the next 10-14 days along with other stuff I ordered at HD. Not sure what kind as I will wait until just before the delivery is scheduled to see if they get FSU's in (otherwise it will be Stove Chows). Not sure if I'm going to order any propane for DHW, cooking and running the boiler a couple times/day to keep FHW pipes from freezing. Hoping I have enough to see me thru until spring.
 
4 tons of Hammers 3/4 ton of green lable lignetics have been stacked up since May. Bring on winter. Im about to buy a snow blower for the driveway/sidewalk so I don't have to shovel. Im sure with that purchase it will never snow again.
 
20 bags that I have picked up here and there. Still looking. There seems to be a good supply at good prices so far.

What do you consider good prices? I paid $20 more per ton this year than I did last year. I agree that the supply seems good right now but the prices are being inflated.
 
I like to start the season with 6 tons even though I only use 3 per season. I have 3 tons of Okanagan DF left over from last year and I topped my stash off back in April with 3 tons of Blazers.
 
I cleaned the remainder of the corn from last year and that's about 90 days of burning straight corn and have about 2.5 tons pellets in the basement and still need to pickup a ton of premium blended pellets that I paid for last season. Will be burning way more propane this season and might put the old Jungers fuel oil stove in the garage shop.

Here in Long Island, $259 per ton is good. The house takes about 3 1/2 tons to heat per season, so around $1200 per year. This doesn't include the stove's electric and maintenance costs, which I haven't exactly figured out.
 
All stacked since June. 4 tons of hammers and 3 tons of turmans.
Reading some of the early winter forcasts - it looks like we will need it!
 
2 tons of spruce point 1 ton mwp mix 275 gals of oil. 2 1/2 cords dry firewood.
 
. What do you guys have?

Two new tons of Lignetics, 37 leftover bags of Hamers from last year, and a natural gas pipe.
 
The sig. says it all
 
5 tons of vermonts and 1 of okanagons - 250 heating oil
Will but which ever is cheaper until it gets real cold then pellets to keep the house above 70
 
4 Tons last year....actually could have used a little more!
What level do you run your stove 4? I went through 3 ton and I was running it 2 during the day when I wasn't home and 3 at night sometimes 4 to get house to temp. Then back down to 2 when I am sleeping.

Makes sense hope 3 ton lasts me this year may get one more ton just for good measure. Have you burnt blazer before?
 
Put 4 tons of barefoot in the basement last week. Space is tight but want to get 1 more ton. uploadfromtaptalk1440858730957.jpg
