I am always impressed by the basement storage crowd - seems like so much work but looks so good. Good job.

I'm more impressed by having the room in the basement to store all those pellets. I have a hard time finding room for 2 tons - would love to have the space for 5-6 tons!

Got 7 tons of Spruce Pointe currently stacked in the garage.

8 tons ready to burn. I'll pick up a couple more tons if I can find another used P61 for the shop.

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.

Like minds. I topped off the 4 tons of mostly Somersets with 2 tons of Blazers. BRING IT ON

Here is one for you basement dwellers, 7 tons of Lignetics, ready to feed the beast!

My sig has what I've got stocked, been stocked since May. All in the basement, yes, I'm another basement dweller. I'll get a pic for it soon just for comparison. Also got 300 gal of oil stocked up about 3 weeks ago so, hopefully I'm all set.

FYI, I have a hatch to my basement, so I took a couple 2x12's and fastened some 6 mil plastic to them with a 2x4 lip at the top. I can hook it up to the top of the hatch and just slide my bags down. I buy my bother-in-law a 12 pack of beer and we drop and stacked all 4 tons in about 1.5 hours.

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?

1.5 tons of Blazers , 1 ton of Vermont wood pellets and one ton of leftover okanagen do from last year. Just filled up oil tank at 1.88 gallon . Plan on having a lot of pellets left over if oil stays down

Just had my 6 tons of Country Boy Delivered, so my stash:
6 Tons country Boy
1 Ton Barefoot
11 Bags Timber Heat
Full Tank of Heating Oil

See the signature. I've drunk the softwood koolaid.

Arranged my shipment of stuff from HD for next week. Added to it 2 tons of pellets to be included in the delivery. Don't know what kind they are, but they don't have any FSU's yet, so will probably be Stove Chow. Never burned that brand before, but can't be any worse than what I normally burn. That will bring me up to 3.5 tons, 2 of which will displace my car from the garage for a while.

7.5T of Greene Team, this has been a very good pellet for me. Two heat pumps and a split system, plus 500 gals of propane for hot water, cooking, and emergency heat.

I feel comfortable having 3 methods to heat the house, but pellets are my primary source.

6 tons Hamer's Hot Ones. Need to do some final outdoor fixups, then bring on the cold. Major insulating project of garage ceiling/underside of LR over summer, so eager to see how much it helps.

Four bags of horse pellets and 200 gallons of #2 heating oil. That should do until December. Temperature in the 90's this week.

Stove chow isn't terrible, green supreme for me was the worst pellet. How much per ton did you pay?

Click to expand...

$259/ton plus 5% discount for using HD credit card and claiming the Lowes match.

Two sheds stuffed.

Got my delivery a little while ago and it is ThermaGlo. I got 6 bags last year and was happy with the heat output - and wasn't as ashy as what I was mostly burning last year.



These will have to live outside a while.

Those 2 tons are in addition to the 1.5 tons left over from last year; Curran's blend and FSU's.

2.4 tons of Spruce Pointes and 1 ton of Blazers....plus 15 bags of an assortment of various left overs from last year's trials....although oil is still under $2.00 gal here in central Mass.... going to top off the tank

Long range weather report I heard today was warmer than normal weather for the Midwest because of El Nino. California has better news

Friday Lowes delivered another 2 tons ($19 delivery - love it). So now my stash is up to about 5.5 tons. Got these covered up with plastic that evening. If I ever get a freaking contractor to take my bathroom remodeling job I will eventually have room in the basement and garage to get at least most of this in and out of the weather (contractors have been the bane of my life for the last 2 months, seems they all have better things to do than work).
