It took us 5 hours to haul all 10 tons down to the basement with my improvised sliding board, but we're now stocked with 14 tons (10 new & 4 from last year) of stove chow. Home Depot delivered them all for $55, and I got the manager to knock $10 off the $219 ton price due to the volume purchase. Score!

No, I wasn't drunk while re-stacking the bags, just really tired and trying to keep up with the bags coming down the shoot.

Now our precious pellets are resting comfortably in the dry, humidity controlled basement, guarded by specially trained pellet spiders.

We burn about 6 tons a year, so we should be good for the next two heating seasons.

I picked up a few bags of the "Hammer's Hot Ones" at a local hardware store, as I've heard everyone here rave about them and wanted to see if they lived up to the hype. Are they normally hard to find?
 
I see some interesting bags on that pile Jay. "Appellation" is a new one I've never hear of before. :eek:
Dam spell check! :mad:

Appalachian made by Premier Pellet corp out of PA. Sister to stove chow. We don't see them that often so we snagged what was left of the open ton at TSC.

Appellation has something to do with wine IIRC

Hey Jay....get the costume ready. I have 5 cans of that long range spider "instant kill" spray.

Pellet Shed 9-23-2013 (1).JPG Pellet Shed 9-23-2013 (2).JPG Here is my little shed full.
In one picture you can see the pellet vac on the side and all the buckets are full of freshly vacuumed pellets.
I bought 2 Ton + 4 bags today and had 10 bags left from last year for a total of 124 114 bags.

Bill

P.S.
If you look at the upper left side of the shed, you can see the security camera to identify desperate pellet thieves. There may not be much there, but one of you are desperate enough to steal my little stash.

Bill
Edited to correct my math!

Pellet Vac??? Wait, what? What is that contraption you have there? I'm new to the pellet burning club here, haven't got my stove installed yet but soon. That's a nice setup you have and I love the camera! I've got a couple outdoor and indoor cameras too, mine are PTZ and controlled from my cell phone...... :)

Great idea, and keeps the dust out of the house to keep my beautiful wife happy.
I need to see if I still have the design for mine on the computer.

I found the diagram. Someone here has the rights to the original picture, not me!
I just added a pic of my style hopper.
