    Good advice. Somersets-Greenways-AWF and Pres to logs(just to name a few). Are good bang for the buck boxstore pellets.

    Raise the price and you could probably find a comprable pellet for less at the local pellet house. not to mention they need our support if you want to keep that option available. And they have pellets all season long, Not just when they feel like it!

    Yes I hope to never pay that much for pellets. I like the 200 a ton pellets they work great for me maybe more ash but I clean my stove every week so its not a big deal

    Couple season ago you had hamers on special($239~~ I got a ton~~). I assumed it was an over stock deal. Special only lasted for a short time IIRC. Forgive the ignorance.

    I agree with buying from the local pellet house but our local dealers cater to the people whom buy stoves from them and all others stand in line.:(

    the best price on Somersets in our area are $219.00 a ton, Do it best has them for $249. That's one of the setbacks living in upstate NY, everything is more expensive

    We have stove dealers that do that in our area. The pellet houses I speak of only sell pellets(one does sell Englander stoves). They sell pellets to whom ever walks through the door.

    The stove shops prices are not pretty and what they sell they think are gold. I wouldn't want them anyway. :(

    But that's not necessarily a bad thing if you're the guy who bought from the dealer and pellets are in short supply.

    If the below freezing days keep going, I will need to restock the shed before winter is over!
    When I logged into the bLowes website, I cannot see inventory levels.
    Homo Depot give me the inventory level without logging in.

    of course, your local pellet retailer probably still has stock....you know, the retailer who supports his local area and economy, with helpful advice you cant get at the big boxes.....who hires local folks......the same good-looking, savoie-faire guy....Im sure he will help you out! ==c Ive heard that in certain circles, going to your local non-bigbox pellet retailer is akin to going to a Chippendales' convention, just locally....eh, thats what i heard anyhow.....
