I will have to get a newer battery for the Jeep as it don't like it when it gets below zero anymore.

I'm now retired and on a budget... I used to deduct my pellet buys as a business expense...
Bring it on. Can't wait to introduce it to my newest line of defense
X2 with Dual P61a-2 stoves here this year!

Welcome to the club. But in my case, being "retired" just means from the original job.....the P/T one is almost as much work.
The best day of my life was when I retired from the retirement job. Full time job to self employed retirement job somehow turned into 18 hours a day.

Up and down it goes and it frequently arrives further south than from where it starts: http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/meant80n.uk.php

I saw that too and wondered whether to get another ton or two. My storage space if at capacity (4 tons) so I will start dragging bags of Ultras home from HD every time I pass by (once a week) and put them in the house. Can't have too many bags of pellets.

With people talking of getting more tons in, I'm getting worried!
I have only 1 ton of pellets bought. (I have a VERY small home & it's well insulated)
My plan was to simply buy another ton later on in the winter.
Is my plan flawed? Should I be buying more fuel right now? do places actually run out as the winter progresses?

Depends on your pellet source. Around here, big boxes tend to run out long before winter is over, so you have to stock up. We don't have many stove shops in NW OH, so I don't know if they will run out or not.
If you're using your stove as the primary sources of heat, I bet you'll go through more than one ton before it's all said and done, even with a small house.

Thanks much.
Perhaps I should clear out a space for a second ton. The delivery I got is on the front porch... not a lot of room for me to store pellets!
I'd hate to run out in Feb & be stuck using propane!
