Still some pellets in northern MD

[crausch]

I saw an advertisment in a newspaper that a hard wood flooring place in Westminster, MD had pellets. I decided to check it out. I first stopped in a place on the way just a couple of blocks from the flooring place. They wanted $340/ton and $8/bag. I don't remember the brand. I continued on to the flooring place. $299/ton and $5.75/bag. They had the Statesman "Hardwood Heat" by Southern States. I wasn't sure how they burned so I picked up about 10 bags to try this year.

I was just glad to see some vendors still had pellets. They even had a big banner on the side of their building that said "Wood Pellets available". I know $299/tn isn't anything great but given the shortages I didn't think that was too bad. If they burn good, I am going to check them out in the Spring and see what they are charging.

I had not heard of those before. I be up in York today as a matter of fact. Going to "Smokey Bones"

Let me know how they burn? Maybe I'll run back to York again next week. That's not a bad price this far into the season giving the situation.

Thanks for the info.!

BJ's in CampHill has Penningiton (sp?) Pellets for 250.00 a ton...and also Lowes and Home Depot on the Carlisle Pike had the same brand for 300.00. This was 2 weeks ago. All were well stocked.

Wertz Coal in Mechanicsburg has 2 different types: Turnam hardwood and Allengany Wood Pellet for 250.00 a ton. This too was 2 weeks ago.

I just got at an Ace Hardware in Dillsburg last weekend for 250.00 a ton. They were Lignectics. They only get 2 tons at a time....and they go fast! All Ace's seem to be carrying pellets.

No shortage here. Lots of talk just to raise the price but they appear to be at alot of places.
