Just checked website. Same thing in the hudson valley.

 

[nhdblfan]

They just pulled the same crap in Concord 268 a ton Green Supreme,I was in there on Tuesday and quoted 239-you have to call EVERY day and see if the truck came in-what a system!

 

[Pete Zahria]

Rochester NH store same, but said there is no discount on team Green... 349..
They do not expect to fill any new orders before the end of November, they are
-200 tons on the Supremes.

 

[Markus38]

home depot is still selling them at 239. if you have both a HD and a lowes credit card and you ask at HD you should be able to get 5% off.
hope this helps.

Kind of off topic, but where around here did you find a Palazzetti dealer and who installed it? Very attractive stove, but I still LOVE my Harman. I would like to see a European styled stove first hand though.

Ridiculous increase. They are gouging us. Up almost 17% from one season. Typical Lowes. Just bought a ton of Chow from Home Depot.

I purchased new on ebay and self installed. Over 5000 hours on it and still going strong. Very efficient. The Palazzetti distributed is in Massachusetts, I have contact info. I buy replacement parts from Maine stove shop and get parts in two days. I believe there is a dealer in Albany, NY

Wow, glad I got my 3 tons from www.woodpellets.com delivered over the summer. I got 1.5 tons of LG and 1.5 tons of Cleanfire Pacific Softwood. With delivery it averaged $298 a ton.

I just loaded the 2nd bag of LGs this morning. LGs are extremely clean. The first time getting the LGs and I am very happy with the extremely low ash in the first bag. The Cleanfire Pacfic Softwood I burned last year and they are the cleanest lowest ash I have ever burned. LG looks like they are going to match the low ash contents of the Cleanfire Pacific.

They'll charge what they can... National Grid here in Worcester County just had a 37% price increase approved by Mass DPU, natural gas is up because of stressed capacity in the Tennessee and Algonquin pipeline, propane, well, just forget it....wonder if oil prices will keep coming down?....around $3.15/ gal last I saw

My supplier was quoting $2.98/gal on NET10...

Probably so, wouldn't surprise me, I haven't followed real close since I topped my tank off in August at 3.40ish... That was a mistake.....such is life....my first year with a pellet stove, figures I'd go through the expense and oil would go soft but I do like the idea of a renewable source instead of fossil

 

[ttdberg]

In addition to the price increase, appears Lowes is no longer offering a discount if you buy by the ton; the website no longer applies the discount. Just keeps getting better.

Oil is renewable, it's just that it takes longer to regenerate. That, and you and I have to die, liquefy, and blend in some swamp with leaves and crap before they slap a #2 on us.

 

[BrotherBart]

The interesting one this year is that oil is gonna be cheaper while natural gas, electricity and pellets are headed up for the season.

I used both last season. The LG's are a bit more on the ash side than the Cleanfire Pacific. The LG's also put out 20 degrees less heat but still a good all around pellet!

I did get the 5% discount in Concord and they claimed if I could find it cheaper they would price match (?)

Here the discount was still on for Green Supreme. Not the Team Green...

For some reason, the website no longer applies the discount when you add 50 to your shopping cart, and also the little note about a "by the ton" discount is no longer there either. Glad to hear they are still doing it if you buy in store though.

good thing I bought my pellets a week ago from Lowes - delivered yesterday.

I did it over the phone,Concord would not take orders and required that you call-twice a day, to see if there was a delivery.They did the 5% over the phone-and then added back the delivery(for me $75 !)

From what I have been reading-and seeing in my oil stock prices,I think we will be reaching a price point were oil is cheaper and it might be for a good while-couple years.

 

[oliveone]

glad I got my sets early in the season.

I wish I was looking for Somersets for the past 2 months with no luck. I have a mix of about 2 3/4 tons now. These were the first I paid of over $5 per bag. Lol
