Funny! I just stumbled on this thread from the Spring is here thread, where I stated that TSC had already lost me as a customer. I would never consider my self a customer of such a store. That would imply a sort of repetitive visit. I pride myself in being a customer to local shops who's owner livelihood depends on supplying products to local people when they need it. The box stores must go. They drove down the price, then drove out the good busynesses, followed by bringing down the quality of service and product.

Anyway, same thing here, went inside TSC to ask for bio bricks and was confronted with the statement you all are familiar with... You would think that someone who has a little sense left in their brain would say: it's middle of January, shouldn't we supply those bio bricks when they are needed the most? But noooo!!!!

On the other hand, I was looking up on Craigslist for firewood and came across firewood that is sold by the 1/2 cord palletized and wrapped up, delivered to your door in 4x4x4 pallets for $100 bucks!!
I had never heard of it before, sounds pretty cool. Beats buying a pallet of bio bricks for over $240, assuming the wood is well seasoned, of course.

There's a garden shop near me that does that but in 1/4 cords. sadly the wood is very very green.

I've gotten pretty fond of the eco bricks. I use about 1 per load and I like how they influence the burn. They really help manage marginal wood or big splits, and they fit so nicely. After I left work today I went in to pick up a few more and tripped over the lawn and garden tools in the wood burning section. TS is no longer carrying them, as they are a winter product and they are setting the stage for spring. It looks like they are moving out the last of their pellets too.

Friday afternoons/evenings I am cranky. Sleep deprived. Over-stimulated. The unfailingly polite gentleman in the red vest who wanted to help me out just nodded and smiled at my "DUDE! It's the middle of JANUARY. You're not WALMART!"

If you really like them have you tried http://www.woodpellets.com They have them at a comparable price and delivered.
