Pellets by the bag

[BigJohnfromCT]

Hello folks. For years I would buy my pellets in mid August for the upcoming season. I would typically take delivery of three or four tons. Last.year I was unable to store any pallet size deliveries so I accepted the hit and bought them by the bag. I was completely comfortable with my decision and was prepared to follow the same course this year. Today I went to my local Agway and bought eight bags. I usually use Hamers Hot One but they did not have any. So I picked up Forest Fuel pellets. Good but not Hamers. They were $9.49 a bag. I almost choked. Now I'm thinking I'll just use my propane fired furnace bc propane has not skyrocketed like fuel oil so far. Fingers crossed. So, for those buying pellets by the bag could you please share what your paying. It might be helpful if you also included pellet brand and where you are located in the country. Thank you.

Wow! That's expensive. I'm still at 7.76 CAD per bag. It's been the same price but now I'm worried it's going up. I bought 2 pallets (140) last year. I used them all. I don't want to store them in the garage. Might try to keep the pallets outside.

I buy from my dealer at the spring discount, 4.5 ton, they store them until I phone and ask for a delivery
Usually at the end of September. I get 1 pallet at a time . About a week before running out, I phone for
another pallet and so on. No charge for storage and no delivery charge. I do not even have to be home
. The driver has been delivering here for 24 years . Been dropping them at the Man door to my storage space
AKA my enclosed back porch. The price per bag here is 7.65. That is a lot less than -uc- propane and about
the same as cordwood. I heat with all three. Propane only fires up on very cold mornings to take the chill off

Tractor Supply in Newtown CT has them at 7.49 a bag and they're about the same at HD in Danbury. Hardwood pellets.

No discount up here for buying by the pallet. Cheapest up here is 7.99CAD up to 12.99.. Their used to be a guy that would go to the pellet plant and purchase a hundred or so skids and then sell them for what he paid plus fuel and that was dirt cheap wbut that stopped as the plant stopped selling to anyone but stores..

I don’t know if BTPellet is still around, they used to advertise on billboards in my area. Also HD was around $315 a ton a couple months ago when I drove through the yard they had them on display.

We make ours here in Nova Scotia. The ones I buy at Home Depot are Eastern Embers. They are excellent. 100% softwood premium. $7.76 and the PEI government takes 10% off. They tax it at 15%HST, so that reduces the tac

I see it also covers wood. They offer a rebate on the cost of buying and installing too.

My mother just ordered a pallet from Lowe’s for $6.99 a bag. HD and TSC were the same.

Hardware store near my house is $9.99 for a bag.

I have to pay for delivery too. I think it's about $55 CAD in town. They will deliver as many as you want. They put 70 bags on a pallet, so too tall to get put in my garage directly. Last year I hand carried (with a wheelbarrel) all 140 and it took up 1/4 of my main garage. This year I have more stuff I want to keep in the garage. The pallets are covered with white shrink wrap, and meant to be stored outside.

She paid $80 for delivery.

She had them drop the pallet right at the end of the driveway and my brother just brought them down through the Billco door and stacked them up in the basement.

Got to watch that one.. one of the hardware stores up here store them outside and they are factory covered as well. I stopped buying from them do to price and the fact that i would always get a few bags that were water damaged.. I would toss a pc of plywood or tin on the top of the pallet to redirect the water off and not rely solely on the wrap

Last year I had some damage on two spots on the two pallets that got into the bags. I took a few pics and went doen to home depot and they gave me a couple of bags. I was down there yesterday and they had most outdoors, but I noticed they store the worst ones under cover. I had bought some sheathing tape and covered the holes, and then tarped for a month before bringing them in. I think the tarp made it worse as the moisture got trapped in between. With this super elnino I'll probably be above zeroC all winter so maybe I'll get them by the SUV load I know 2 places that sell mine, and kent has some other brand as well as Ctire ect.
