Not if you let your State senator allow under privliged pellet burners to come take some of your pellets in order to fairly balance pellet wealth. (Pellet re-distribution).

Your a ton short.....3 tons is just average :-/

And I agree with Schmeg....even if you do buy more, it will be "redistributed". California is bad, and NY isn't far behind......
 
Why buy more if you only need 3 ton for the winter. Let's remember no heating oil here.

Well, since he is in tropical California we probably could give him a pass. Probably not a full fledged pig, no way. How about maybe "New Age Pellet Piggie". I be thinkin sort of Miss Piggy wearin a rainbow sweater and a pair of pink Crocs.
 
Whooo Hoooo, I have 5.5 tons for the winter!!!

Mr Whitfield,
With only 3.5 tons in the basement, I also do not qualify.
Maybe we are just big "Pack Rats"????
I spent close to 2 years stationed at Travis AFB in the late 70's.
Beautiful area and does get quite cool during Winter.
I remember having to scrape my windows before driving to work.

Enjoy the heat!!

We've got 6 tons of LG's and 2 Barefoots leftover, but come census time I'm only claiming 1/2 ton of Lowe's. No way my stash is going to get redistributed.
 
Maybe he qualifies as a "pot belly" pig?

I'm in the same boat. I have 180 bags stashes in the basement(all hauled by me) and I need 20 more bags to qualify for the piggy statues. If I stack them right to the rafters I have just enough room. I only need 3½ tons to make it through the season. I was at over 4 tons until I upgrade to a more efficient stove.

We either need to buy more or Be content with the "pig wanna be" statues! :lol:

I vote there should be a pig level for the less than 4 ton a year users.

There is. Over 3 is a pp and don't let the bullies in here tell ya any different!
 
I did some digging in the old threads.

These were Erics rules way back.

Must have
1.) Must have over 3 tons of pellets on hand prior to the first frost of the year.

Must have two of the following three

a.) At least one pellet stove, two stoves will get you a gold star on your membership card
b.) Have at least 3 additional tons by the first frost will get you a silver star on membership card
c.) “cash and carry” your pellets. True pigs drive gas hog trucks and can move their own pellets and this will get you a bronze star on your membership card.

Don't forget the dues macman. Where's Eric???
 
guess I just squeeked by. got 3 tons...and I had two bags left over from last season. wooHOO!
 
Count me in as well... I have 4.6 tons in the garage. In a nice row on pallets! Only one stove.

I can't cash and carry (cars are not good for that) but do have a gas hog that I had to pay a guzzler tax on... so I guess maybe no cool stars on my card
:(
 
i had 3 bags left over from last season so 3 tons and 3 bags puts me over! (6,120 LBS before first frost)
 
Yea, I'm a pig but I only have 40 bags of pellets in stock.

Is that a pellet in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
