Just finalizing my pellet stash for this coming winter. Still need one more ton and I'll be good to go. Thought I would share my pellets ...

Yeah, good idea. When i get my next ton I will probably stack'em evenly across all four stacks ...
 
Yeah, will use the Michigan's during the not so bitter months. Probably Oct, Nov. MWP, are those Michigan pellets like the ones I have ? Or something different ?

Michigan wood fuel is made in Holland, Michigan Wood Pellets is made in Grayling. I buy whatever is cheaper and easier to get my hands on. Harman doesn't care what is used.
 
Pile 'em up a little higher you could save a lot of floor space ...................

That's what I was thinking.

Those look like nice sturdy pallets - you can go 1.5 tons per pallet - that's what I do so I can get 3 tons in the basement (Besides, I have to give you chit somehow - I'm just jealous of the room you have :cool:)
 
I stack 2 tons on a pallet all the way to the ceiling. Haven't had any issues so far.

My ceiling ain't that high, otherwise I would. Well, maybe not, I'd have to get another ladder just for when I get pellets to load the stoves. But then again, I'm always looking for an excuse to get some exercise . . .

I don't think I've seen the Michigan Wood Pellets, but I do see a lot of the Michigan Wood Fuels. I try to buy what burns hotter. Pro Pellets seem to burn really nice and hot in my Quad with minimal ash.

I use a ladder to get the last few rows up top. During burning season I have to get the ladder out and bring ~10 bags off the top at a time until the stack gets low enough to reach. I like to keep the footprint as small as possible.

The pellets I bought last year came on 1.5 ton per pallet, 75 bags.
 
They were selling some soft pellets around here with 1.25 or 1.5 ton pallets ...
