There are some Long Islanders here. I am in Suffolk County. Tough to get a good price on pellets on the Island. Let me know what you have in the works.

I'm in Lindenhurst. I'm kind of cramped for storage, and have 2tons on hand which will get me through the winter. I'll be looking to replace 1 ton probably in mid January.

I have a source out east I am just waiting to hear brand and price. I will let you know when he gets them. He was one on the lowest around the Island last year. I have averaged 2 to 2 1/2 tons the last two years. Heating Raised Ranch with stove on first floor.

What do you guy pay for pellets and Delivery?

I found a guy on Craigs list that is selling Barefoot pellets. $285 Free Delivery. I used the pellets last year. They burn hot.

There are a few on Craigslist. Okies just made it to the Island and they are the same price $285. I used Gold Coast Flooring for a ton or two last year for Barefoots. Pricing will never be great since the transportation costs are so HIGH to get them here. The profit margins are small for the retailers. Even woodpellets.com is high...I'd be interested in hearing what you might have in mind. I am stocked for this year though.

I got the best delivery price from The Log splitter. FREE. They had pre fall specials. I think they are charging $30 for Delivery any ware on LI. This guy has the coolest trailer. It is a built in fork system. I can’t explain it. There are not forklifts trashing your driveway. He backed the trailer into my driveway and placed the pallets. I had him deliver early Sunday morning. The delivery was quiet. Nobody but me knew the delivery came.

Can anyone answer the question? Do hardwood pellets last longer than softwood pellets.
I know softwood can burn as hot as hardwood. But softwood is still softwood and burns faster than hardwood.
Would I need to order a half ton more of softwood pellets than hardwood pellets??

I doubt if you can find any difference in burn time since the wood fibers are compressed to the same density.
