Pellets Early Buy

[johneh]

Yesterday I bought my Pellets for next year . My dealer has an early buy-in in April
I bought 4 1/2tons of Fusion Blend, a mix of soft 20% and hard wood 80% and 1 1/2 tons
of Cubex. He stores the pallets, and I call when I need one. Delivery is free. They have
gone up in price from last year (to be expected), Cubex 429.00 a ton, 8.58 a bag
Fusion blend 409.00 per ton, 8.18 a bag. Getting so a man might be better off heating
with cordwood at 375 a cord oak/sugar maple mix cut, split and delivered.

You are getting value added not paying delivery, and not having to store them. Home Depot still have my Eastern Embers at 7.76. Home Hardware have them too at a slightly higher price. I am down to my last couple of bags. I will just buy by the bag till I have my delivery in the fall. Hard to believe now that I burned over 150 bags. I wish the stove didn't need to be cleaned though. I had a gas furnace before, and it was easy to maintain. I just did the last cleaning today. Next will be the fall total system cleaning. I will run it a bit all summer to warm up the basement and have the flame to look at.
Edit - PEI also has a 10% at the checkout rebate before tax. Solid fuel rebate. They want people to get off oil. They also help with Heat Pumps. There is no natural gas here.
