The Lowes in Bloomfield, CT. has it still in stock for $187 a ton get a 10% off Lowes coupon and it gets it down to $168.50. I picked up 2 ton, they said they had at least a dozen more. Say what you will about stove chow, but my P68 likes it better than the bad batch of barefoots I was using.
 
HD in Phohatcong NJ (near Phillpsberg) has the same deal. I bought a few bags a couple of days ago and a few bags of Presto Logs (Lignetics), The Stove Chow burned real hot in my NPS40 but was very messy, had to clean the pot every 4 hours or so. I experimented with different air settings, but didn't have much luck getting a cleaner burn. The Presto logs are in now, not as hot, but have not had to touch the pot since I loaded the hopper around 10 pm last night.

All and all, good price for either brand...
 
what a great price..... wish i had some extra cash .was the stove chow the only pellet they had been a while since i stopped there

Home Depot in New Hartford, CT also had Stove Chow in Stock this week for $187 + the 10% coupon. Can't complain at $168.30 per ton!

Last I knew they had Fireside Ultra's but its been a while. Lowes in Torrington also has Stove Chow and Maine Choice. What else did they have at the New Hardford HD?
 
off topic: Where is everyone getting their 10% coupons? LOL I want one!
 
I was at Home Depot in Bristol CT. tonight and they only had Nation's Choice in stock and it is now back up to $209 a ton or $4.18 per bag. They didn't have too much of it. I also had to stop at Lowe's in Plainville CT. and they only had SIH pellets, saw about 20 tons out back. It was still was $187 a ton or 3.74 a bag. I got 3 bags of the SIH to try.

SIH in CT? WooHoo! The Torrington Lowes was getting a fresh load of pellets in last Monday. I wonder if they are SIH? Naw, I can't get that lucky! But I have to check it out! I thinx I can fit in another 20 bags or so!

When on a pallet they have a black plastic outer cover bag and the lower 1/3 is clear shrink wrap.
Probably won't get to try them until the weekend.

Go to the post office and get the "moving kit" it has a bunch of coupons inside it, including a Lowes 10%
A lot of the movers packets now have the $25 off a $250 purchase at Lowe's.

LOL, figures.... I just did a change of address request online two days ago and opted to NOT get the coupons they offered.....
 
Lowes in Woburn, MA just got a shipment of Green Teams. Two tons sitting in the main entryway. Another 6 tons sitting outside the contractor entrance.

Another option is to register with Lowes and HD on line. They might send coupons to you. Not sure what you will get. I just got a $10 of a $50 dollar from lowes. I might get 15 to 25 more bags and use the coupon on them! I only got the one coupon from HD on sign up. Now I just get sale fliers. Lowes sends out a Coupon here and there.

I usually get 10 packets at a time, they seem to average seven 10% off to three $25 off $250.

The Lowes in Torrington is out of stove chow, I called them today and had them check.

I'll try to stop there tomorrow to see what they have. I know when I got my ton they had a few chows left(2) and they had Maine Choice. They were supposed to get a Load in Monday afternoon. I really really hope its SIH hardwoods! :) I just have to top off the stash again!
 
hey jay, i called the plainville lowes and they confirmed they have somersets and SIH.....which one would you choose?

My stove would perfer the Somersets, But not by much! SIH is a darned good pellet. I would suggest you try both and see how your toys like them. As they say YMMV!

Heading to Lowes in Torrington tonight to get 15 to 20 bags with a $10 off of $50 coupon. Hope there are some SIH there. I will post what they have in stock!
