Just went to home depot they were totally out proceeded onto Lowes they were completely out nearest Lowes with pellets was 52 miles away. Stopped off at Sears they had pellets Lignetics but wanted $6.59 per bag I said to the lady that they were a little heavy on the price her response was HD and Lowes are out so we jacked up the price.I bought 4 bags but I am not a happy camper when its $26 for 4 bags.Lesson learned next year I will get 4 tons not my usual 3.

Yep, Where is around here?

Plenty around me(here), But expect the box stores to start pulling back shortly. Pellet house's seem to have high stacks.

Lower Bucks sounds like Philly area . A rookie mistake thinking big box in our area will have pellets past valentines day Been there done that . Find a local dealer or stock up sooner , Not bust in on the OP just some advice;)
 
im seeing the same thing in my neck of the woods.a lot of lowes and HD are completely out.a few ton of infernos here anh there but thats it.i need a ton of shoulder stuff and was hoping for some stove chow but theres none to be found around here .i have almost 4 ton of somersets and 1 ton barefoot left in my stash.hoping not to touch those till next year.also have a ton of mixed.green team,maine woods,dragon mountains,and okies.most of the mixed ton is 3/4 years old so may start on that till i find some chow.
 
Just bought some Stove Chow at the Home Depot in Pottstown, they had about 8 tons left.
 
went to my local home desperate and Nothing for 50 miles of me on long island Lowes has plenty of north american pellets left though so picked up 10 bags of that crap and guess ill pick up ten more on monday and deal with the ash I have 200 in store credit there

Hi Everyone,
It's been a while- hope things are good for all of you. I'm trying to save $$ and I read that wood stove pellets make great litter, So I got North American ,Stove Pellets, but want to check it out here first. I read that some hardwoods can be poisonous to rabbits. The pellets I got say "Hardwood/Softwood" but there's no list for what kind of hardwood.
Has anyone used North American Pellets with success? I really appreciate any replies

I got the last ton at local HD a week ago. Can order online and deliver to store but won't know what they will try and dump on you.

Dee how do you like your rabbit , Medium rare ;?
 
We keep telling folks to not rely on pellets being easy to find given the stores desire to push the seasons, some of them had their summer, Valentines, St Patricks Day, and Easter stuff being setup just before Christmas. You should be looking for back to school sales about now.

I went looking for an other string of 100 warm white led lights a week and a half before Christmas. there wasn't any to be had at the 10 places that sell such items within 2 miles of me.
 
Opps Lower Bucks Yardley PA Local store is Oxford valley mall anyway no pellets till next thursday NE Philadelphia
 
My dealer has 5 ton left of Henry county pellets and a few isabella soft woods left. He said he is not getting anymore this season. TSC had 22 tons of pro pellets and a few indeck left about a month ago
