We bought a pellet stove last Saturday, and the dealer included 2 tons of pellets in with the deal. Today my son and I went to pick up our pellets.
While we were at the store I inquired about buying more pellets. The salesman said "no problem", we have 27 tons left. This was at 1:00 this afternoon. We left the store and took 1 ton of pellets home. We returned about two hours later for our 2nd ton. I told the salesman that I wanted to purchase 3 more tons of pellets, and would bring a trailer in the morning to pick them up. He said that he needed to see if they had 3 tons left to sell. He came back a few minutes later and told us that 3 tons was all that they had left until the next delivery came in on Tuesday (4 truck loads)). I said do what, 2 hours ago you had 27 tons for sale you guys must be selling them fast uh?. He told me yea a lot of people are stocking up on them now while they can get them. Then he said starting Monday morning there will be a 2 ton limit per week, and the limit may be lowered to 1 ton if the 4 truck loads sell out fast. We ended up paying $230.oo per ton. I sure am glad that we will have 5 tons stacked in the old wood shed by tomorrow afternoon for the upcoming winter.
This store sold 5 pellet stoves this afternoon while we were there (the stoves were in stock as well).
The salesman said pellet stoves and pellets are selling like hotcakes this year. I told him yea it does seem so, guess you will be eating steak tonight, while my son and I will be having hot-dogs
