Bulk pellets in Albany area

[iceguy4]

Bags are a PITA (pain in the a$$) How many members would be interested in bulk pellets around me? I can purchase a quality pellet for $50 less in 1 ton bags...pick them high enough with a backhoe to fill a building ...but would prefer a delivery. just tired of bags...

Not sure where you are ICE but I would if the village I live in would allow me to have a "silo" in my back yard.

I thought about that too, i was thinking coal before i bought the pellet stove, with a coal crib in in basement, thinking about the same with pellets.

I'm not in the Albany area, but I thought of this to avoid lifting bags of pellets also. My brother had a coal stove decades ago and he built a 4 ton coal crib. I am sure that I could build a Pellet crib to hold two ton.

VT Wood Pellet Co LLC is 85 miles from Albany. You can give them a call.

One of the draw backs of bulk is your limited to the brand(selection) they carry in bulk. Not all mills have the means to sell in bulk. So not a lot of choices available. And there isn't much savings AFAIK. Plus either way unless you have an auto delivery system to the pellet burning appliance, You'll need to fill a bucket/pail and dump it in the hopper. Not much difference than dumping in a bag IMHO.
