I was in TSC and picked up 4 more bags. Still wondering where I will buy next years stash. Looking for quality pellets in the Hudson Valley at reasonable price.
I burned my last bag of 3 tons! Done for the season - our first with a Harman Accentra 52i. Saved more than a thousand dollars in propane and electricity compared to last 2 yrs. That's AFTER the cost of the pellets. 4 yrs of those results and we'll have paid for the stove and are really nice and warm all winter.
21 in the stash with 22 in the hopper. I'm on plan. I may shut down tomorrow. It looks like warm weather for the next week.
I filled both stove hoppers this morning, placed a full bag upstairs for the St. Croix, then went and picked up my last 20 bags of pre-pay. Just happens to turn out I have 36 bags for each stove; 36 bags of FSU's for the St. Croix and 35 bags of Currans plus one bag of Vermont Wood Pellets for the Harman.

I, too, bought 9 tons for two stoves (Harmans)...20 bags left. Guess I figured right for a change...
~8 but had to buy more twice. Had a warm spell so probably just use it on chilly nights from now on but might be the last week.
Burned through 5 tons initially, then bought ~15 and then another 10. Terrible winter but was definitely warmer than using the oil and spending thousands and being cold.

About 160. I got a new gas boiler at the beginning of the season and only burned a few bags of pellets this year.
29 bags left! Its my guess that I probably had 4.5 tons of pellets for the winter heating season. I started burning pellets Jan. 5th 2015. My winter gas bill has been record low since heating entire house with my Harman approx. $10.00 per month. Extremely happy with my stove!
Started with five tons and down to 60 bags. My hope is to stretch 10 bags through the rest of the season and have a full ton left for next year.
We have roughly 1 ton left out of about 5 in total. Mid season we sold our Blaze King Wood Insert and picked up a Accentra Insert to join our XXV. We could not be happier with the change!
Hopefully going to buy about 6 tons for next year. Still debating on what and where to buy them!

Started winter with 122 bags, currently have 74 bags left. It has been an extremely mild winter here. Jan, Feb, and Mar all averaged 5+° above normal and we had lots of sunshine.
All of us in the Northeast would like to give you a good pounding about now- we were so far below average for temps, for so long - and above average for snow (Oh, and that above part goes for our IQ's too
), and have just in the last two weeks or so come to something resembling spring (still waiting for the gosh-darn forsythia to bloom, or daffodils or something with color).Anyway, I'm done with my whining for the moment.
! At the beginning I had 119 bags in the pellet shed. 
20 bags left out of about 4.5 tons. Finally warmed up this week, but looks like things might cool down a bit next week again. Very cold this year. 20 bags should be good now that its mid-April. Thought we would never get to the point where the stove wouldn't have to run all day.
11 bags left. Gonna call the propane guy he's cheaper than buying pellets. Alas the days of reasonable pellet prices are past us. We will probably never ever see the big savings we used to get by burning pellets.
