Storage

[Pete Zahria]

3 tons stored inside not far from the stove. 1.5 tons to the left side, and 1.5 tons in the closet under the stairs that is about 12' from the stove.

Nice!... Like your selection too...

Planning on a nuclear winter?

Really don't know how it is going to work.
Was used to the coal stove, been using that quite a while,
before it was wood..... trying out pellets this year...
I know what I used for wood and coal, and can approximately figure
what I "might" need for pellets.. This isn't really all that much for a
big old New Englander built in 1895... It will be interesting.

Stack them against the house wall and you'll increase your insulation R-Value...

I can get about 2-3 tons in my basement, just carry a few bags up at a time when needed. Hopper fits 3 bags

 

[Tonyray]

5 tons stored in our Basement.....
windows pop out so easy to un-load from the driveway.... Bought all these during Spring Early buy. Those Golden hardwoods are Low ash brand from Energex. Limited production time to get them each year before they are gone till next year.
yes we bring up at least 1 bag per day when cold arrives...

 

[Pete Zahria]

Quite a load on that truck...!

i've been burning these for four + seasons now.
low weight in ash, but high volume (fly ash). they have never formed clinkers and they are not ridiculously expensive.
my stove is a top feeder and just blows the fly ash out into the firebox, so my firepot is always clear.
i just use a flat piece of metal to scoop out excess ash between full cleanings. (into a metal pail)
i'm not spending $50 to $100 more per ton just to get less fly ash. no way i'll ever get that money back in "extra" heat.
these things have kept me warm at 20 below with no problem.

if pinetree pellets gets up and running, i will give them a try. i like the idea of a local small mill in our area and will support them as long as the product is decent and the price is right. otherwise i'll stick w/ MWP blend.

i tried the MWP softwoods one year, and then the some of the crabbe softwoods the next year.
i finally just settled back on all MWP blend.

5 ton in garage. It's all what you are willing to do for comfort.

Anyone lucky enough to live in an area close enough to a supplier to get bulk deliveries and have a hopper set up?

Since due to health reasons I can't store in the basement (waiting on back surgery) I get the kids to unload 35-40 bags at a time into our front hall.

The ole Ranger still handle 1500 pounds pretty well I think lol...

Called them last year, the owner was to call but never called me back, so I assumed they didn't deliver up here. The assistant told me they had a few accounts in the area.

So do you have a bulk tank or hopper?
