Well I thought I was done burning until I heard the weather report for the next several days.

So off I went to pick up 5 bags of Hamer's.

Maybe this really will be my last purchase until fall?
 
Nah...mother nature always has another trick up her sleeve. The nights are gonna stay a little on the cool side for a while i think. Will make for some good nights around the campfire with a 6 pack.
 
Will prolly burn another half ton here before
Winter loosens it's grip. No sittin around
the firepit for me until it's at least 50 degrees
at night.
 
Im estimating on burning about another half ton as well. old man winter wont loosen his grip quite yet. :red:
 
I am hoping to be shut down by april 15.
 
i cant wait to shut the stove down. put away my shop vac, stop hauling pellets inside, stop filling humidifier 2x/day.

dont get me wrong, i love the stove. it has saved me so much money, and keeps us way warmer than the boiler but its been a long winter and enough is enough. ready to break out the lawnmower, weed wacker and start some fresh garden tomatoes and peppers.
 
I agree. I want the snow to melt, set up the horse shoe pit and invite the guys over. Im ready to grill in nothing but a pair of shorts and sandals.
 
Another 1" snow here today, and forcasting lows in teens end of week. Will be burning for a while longer.
 
n/e Ohio, I have burned into May.

I had to pull the trigger and pick up another ton (total of 3 this season). Hamers at $249
 
down to my last three tons, my pellet habit is down to a bag a day from two and half a day, Wondering how many tons I will have left for next year...
 
I agree. Totally sick of running my stove now with no stove-free weather in sight.
 
Northeast Ohio here also and mine will burn well into the middle of May as it does every year for the past 3 years.
 
It's 1:29 AM ET and temp is in the 60's right now...got the stove therm turned waaay back and the windows cracked...wind advisory up but a nice balmy night :) I hope it gets cool enough again to burn off this last bag I opened last night LOL

Same here! Looking forward to mowing the lawn with the Blackflies and Mosquitos chasing me!!
Would like to put in a small garden. Nothing beats the taste of fresh tomatoes!!

Also, want to get my '74 Grand Prix out of storage. Needs some more TLC to get her ready for cruisin!
