Messy but ready

[AccentraRRT]

This stack is messy but I am ready for the cold..
Why is it that they are stacked so nicely on delivery but when restacked they look like the leaning tower of Pisa?

Nice. I have gotten better stacking them over the years, but it's never like original pallet.

I came from stacking wood - it took years for me to keep the stacks from looking like a pyramid (stacking several cords in a row nright against each other). Pellets are really easy for me to keep relatively straight. Probably if you slow down a bit, your stack would be fine. But, the stacking has nothing at all to do with how it burns, so who cares that much? Wood, on the other hand, can get too crowded to dry out correctly, so is more of a concern.

Stack them like they came off the pallet: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 etc

+1 and in addition I do find that as I lay down each bag I give each a rub/wiggle to settle it down so the top is flatter and less pillow-y.

However, I've stopped short of breaking out the laser level when I stack them.

Your pellets are officially ruined, send them to me for immediate disposal in an approved appliance ........

Really think you need to get out more.

Life is good when one of our concerns is the neatness of our pellet stacks....LOL

If you bar code the bags you can attach a hand scanner to your computer and track consumption.

......I tried to barcode individual pellets but it was a pain!

I actually can get 6 bags to a layer on a wood pallet.
reverse of course on the 2nd layer, rinse/lather/repeat.

Haha I did restack them the way I found them.. The picture is diseaving.. The stack is taller than it looks and it got to the point that I just started throwing them on top.
A 4.5ft 1.2ton stack as delivered restocked at almost 5.5ft. After moving 3 ton into the garage and half down down to the basement. I just started chucking on top haha

I have the forklift driver place half the pallets in the garage and leave half in the driveway. then i stack the driveway pellets on top of the ones in the garage. sometimes hit 8 ft high. this works well for the winter, however the leftovers at one point during the summer months seem to topple over. It sure is something when you leisurely go to grab the mower, only to open the garage and find a ton of toppled pellets on top of it!

Trick is to stack, and work the bags to settle where you want them. Hit, pat, pack, nudge in symmetric rows.

Rona had there pellets on sale so I bought 95 bags stacked them all in a spare bedroom I don't use 12 bags high along one wall and I just had enough room to open the door, till Monday, I heard a thump coming from the spare room, I walked to the door turned the knob gave it a push didn't budge an inch, damn a row of bags fell over against the door, cant open the door cant open the widow from the outside what now my winter stash is in there, so I got down on the floor and pushed the door with my feet till I got it open about 3 inches, got my arm in there and tried to move a bag or two but no go, so as a last resort I got out the carpet knife and started slashing bags, that did it but what a mess 5 bags of pellets all over but I got in, so be careful how and WHERE you stack your pellets.
