Now we have to put up with this as well as low heating oil prices.

Have you burned yet? If not you may make to turkey day this year!
I think we're just due for a mild winter after the last 2. Everything works in cycles... could be wrong and this winter might suck but I doubt it. El nino will exert whatever its influence may be and that is a change from the past 2 winters.Makes sense to me . . . seems like here in Maine the temps and weather this past month was more like the weather we typically get in September . . . relatively mild.
Couple that with a late Spring (well Spring technically arrived on time as it always does -- just the weather was not Spring like) . . . not surprised to see a mild November at the beginning.
I also suspect this may not be a heavy snow year for us here . . . my grandfather always said if the farm pond filled up in the Fall there wouldn't be as much snow . . . and it usually happened that way.
That said . . . the snow and cold will get here eventually . . . I'm not planning on replacing my sugar maples with palm trees anytime soon.
We won't count that. I burned one Sunday and one evening so far. Guess about 3 sm stove loads but we outside temps are warm again right now.Burned a pellet basket full in the 30-NC three or four times
Just seen some like these offered in bulk here in MN. What is the going rate? They want $167 for a bit over a ton skidI just got 3 of these
Twice that here!Just seen some like these offered in bulk here in MN. What is the going rate? They want $167 for a bit over a ton skid
This is s stopgap measure- I was too busy/lazy to put up firewoodOoouch! Another $50 and I can get pellets and let the stove feed itself.
That would be really cheap here, and I have zero confidence that it would be dry. Much closer to the $300/cord range here I thinkCouple threads on the costs of pellets ands fuel in "the pellet mill"and several are now using the cheaper fuel oil and some propain. If I wasn't having cheap corn I too would be using far more propane. My parents had some nice Oak and Ash delivered for $160 a cord.
Yeah, that was the kiss of death right there.I may not burn till Christmas this year

Played golf the day before Thanksgiving last year. What will this year hold?
