when stove sales have a 400% increase so far this year other shortages are soon to follow.

Please stay calm and do not panic


Just been told that vent pipe pieces are starting to run short. Tees, elbows, and wall thimbles are running out of stock. I am not going to say what brand but I am sure it is not just one manufacture. Plan ahead but do not hoard, we can all get through this together. Remember, deep breaths.

BadDad you have a time out.

The 400% is on all stove sales. I wish I could find where I read this.

Pellet boom
Chris Smith, a salesman at Abundant Life Wood & Gas Stoves in Chichester, said pellet-stove sales this year were projected to increase by a healthy 30 percent. Instead, "there's been an over 400 percent increase," he said. "It's been crazy."

Does this help?

Probably not. That's the value of the free market economy. They've all invested major money in their plants. If they overprice sooner or later demand goes down and they'll see their investment go idle. The oil industry is a perfect example of it - look what happened to demand when gas broke $3.50 and oil busted the $4 barrier. People said "enough, I'm going with alternatives". Oil has dropped $25/barrel, gasoline is down nearly $1 from its high and fuel oil is starting a slow slide downward. So it will be with pellets - they hit $400/ton and oil stays where it is, no one buys pellets and burns oil instead.

BadDad, you have fulfilled your debt to society, your timeout is done.

Thanks for letting me back in...... My wife actually said a while back she was surprised there was not talk of a pipe shortage when it became apparent that stoves were in short supply and there were regional shortages of pellets. While we were waiting for our install she said "I hope there is enough pipe considering all the stoves being installed". I consider myself lucky that I got my stove installed and enough pellets (@$235/ton, Barefoot & Lignetics) stashed away for the winter. I wish everyone still waiting good fortune on the completion of their purchases of stoves, pellets and piping.

Thanks, Kinsman! Can you ship them to CT...oh wait...there's that dreaded shipping charge, huh? Thanks, but I think I'm all set in the pellet game.

Folks, I just love the "forecast" for this storm Gustav. In "anticipation" of this storm wreaking potentially severe damage to the oil rigs out in the Gulf, the price of a barrel of oil rose today to blah-blah-blah...any excuse for a price increase.

Okay....I'm done. Goodnight all.

Just wait until fall when pellets run far short. It'll be easier to get an Nintendo Wii for Christmas.

 

[BadDad320]

Ahhhhh..... Nintendo Wii, that will keep you warm!
