So I broke down....

[nailed_nailer]

I work outside and after a particularly cold wet and windy week (Southern New England) My bones were feeling chilled.
On Friday I had ordered 250+ gallons of HHO (at $1.89/gal) for delivery on Monday, so I was all set for the fall heating season.

But nothing soaks your bones like a nice fire in the stove......

Fast forward to Saturday afternoon after I get out of work (cold/wet/tired/etc.) I pick up my son and decide to grab a few bags of pellets at The local Tractor Supply.

I'm standing in line and the guy in front of me is also getting pellets. I ask what brand(s) and how much?

Turns out they are North Americans (meh) and with discount $265 a ton.
Not a great deal by any means.

I look at kid and say "Oh, What the Hell". I have them load a ton on the truck

So Saturday evening I fire up the stove, relax on couch and drink a hot coffee. Ahhhhh! bliss.

By this morning my bones are warmed and even the dog seems more comfortable.

My little kitten was sitting right next to where the ash pan was warming up this morning.

I think the prices are going to start to drop. With oil so low, people are not buying pellets like they have other years. The box store in my area just slashed the price from 269 to 259 a ton. I'm going to wait a few more weeks and see if they drop it any more before I buy. I do have 1.x tons from last year so I have a little room to wait.

Was at HD and Lowes today - no price drops yet. Still expensive at farm & garden stores as well as hardware stores. I have plenty, but if price drops happen, I may stock in more for next year.

My local menards has them for 224.50, with an 11 percent rebate. 200 bucks a ton!
