Still think that's too high. Last year's excuse was high diesel fuel prices, high transportation cost. Heating oil at $5.00/gallon. What's the excuse this year? My biggest fear is that the pellet industry is going to greedy itself right out of business. (well, actually, my BIGGEST fear is running out of vodka)
Well.....at least here in Maine MANY people have already made the purchases of pellet stoves. So ....now... people have the option. Perhaps prices will come down when people choose another source and decide pellets can wait. I, myself, am thinking of putting a wood stove back in my basement. My option will be 3 choices of heat. I will not buy wood but have had many opportunities to get it free. So....pellets will have to be worth my while $$$ to stay with them. They hit 300 bucks a ton and I am done til they drop in price. And I'm also hearing that same sentiment at my job where we have a Pellet Co op of at least 100 pellet burners throughout the plant that buy tractor trailer loads to split up. The momentum is building that pellets are just getting way to high. We bought the excuse of high transportation cost as well as other energy costs regarding the pellet making....BUT....whats the excuse now? Energy is half(at least) what it was.
