    Three ton before first frost. Small amounts must be self hauled large amounts can be delivered but you have to stack them.

    You need to apply and show signs of true piggishness. The pigs may ask for clarification of items on your application.

    Isn't there also a qualification that the vehicle hauling the pellets must be at least fifteen years old and have rust. I'm only remembering this from threads past. I would never list my stash to many moochers and thieves about.

    No, I have three trucks. Two 95's and a 94 gmc vanduras. I can still work on them and do the body work.

    If it's old & rusted, you get bonus points. :lol: But normally just hauling them in a pick-up is sufficient.

    I'm a newbie! What can I say? I can't stop myself. I've been looking far and wide for some Cubex to add to my smorgasbord but haven't had any luck with them. Those are hard to find. I'm picking up another ton of Barefoots tomorrow to add to the total. That should beef up my application for Piggy status.

    Smokey, ALL of these pellets were self hauled and stacked either in the garage or basement. Might have to break up this last ton of Barefoots to give my back a break plus I'm waiting for my third log rack to come in tomorrow in order to stack this new ton. Where is this Pellet Piggy application you speak of? I'm ready, willing and able to supply all necessary documents to show my piggishness! Even if not full fledged pig, I should qualify for a small one! If not even a small one, how about Wanna-Be-Pig with most variety?? You guys have to give me something for trying!

    I have a 2001 Ford pickup with some under carriage rust but not as bad. My 1997 out of commission right now thanks to a drunk driver. I should get a bonus point or two for those.

    just a side note on rusty vehicles.

    i am stoked that this town doesn't seem to use salt on the roads. you just don't see rusted out cars and trucks here.
    it was a big concern moving from oregon w/ our super low mileage subaru.

    yay for sand!

    Wow I had two ton and thought it was alot! Five (5) would fill my entire basement lol! I have learned to buy whenever you see some. Right now everywhere from Wal Mart Lowes to Tractor Supply have pellets in bulk less then ten miles from my house. Not to mention Powerhouse Pellets is five miles from my home. I will get another ton delivered tomorrow. (Lignetics)
  18. imacman Minister of Fire

    In most cases, the minimum with an average sized home, and average size stove is 3 tons. Most of us have realized (especially after last winter (AKA the winter from He**), that you should have at least 1 more ton than that.

    BTW, which version of the Lignetics do they have? Green lettering or Blue, all hardwood or hard/soft combo?

    I'm burning the Green lettering hard/soft mix and am getting very good results, and i also have the Green lettering all Hardwood....maybe just a tiny bit less heat, but good overall.

    They reserve the good stuff for when it is needed, that sand is usually a salt sand mix. You might want to ask someone at your towns public works department.
