Geez, didn't update .. Finishing last season's tally - All Satisfaction (LG) pellets .. 12 for May '17, 2 for June '17 = 221 total '16-'17 season = 4.42 tons. 85 gals. of #2 fuel oil (est.) for '16-'17 winter season. * More pellets, and less fuel oil used this past season, vs. '15-'16. (1) bag burned to-date in Sept. '17. Got pellets, need more Beer.
Thanks TT, it's good to be back & missed you guys too - yup, July through now has been crazy-busy.. * There's a dim light at the end of the tunnel / that things are settling down - or that may just be the train barrelling through towards me, lol.
~2. Used the leftovers in the hopper of the P43 then added a bag. Saturday the hopper was empty so transferred all the leftovers from the P61 hopper. Gotta remember to take pictures of my stash to make for easy accounting.
1st small burn was Sunday morning. Deliveries are going at a brisk pace and probably will increase as the temps drop. EzBlaze softwood on the truck. and another load.
We take an extra pallet and ask the customer to assist in the unload. Takes only a few minutes with 2 people. Better than a second trip
Counted all my pellets in various places and got it all input into my spreadsheet so I can be semi-knowledgeable next year when I have to buy pellets. I haven't bought pellets since the fire sales spring of 2016 so will need the info. Last year's spreadsheet shows I burned 5 tons plus 15 bags. This year I'm starting out with 160 bags in garage, 149 in the house (after using ~2 bags so far this fall) and 48 still out in the yard for a grand total of 359 bags starting back on 8/31/17 when I had some burns. Last year wasn't a hard winter and it would be sure nice if this year was about the same. But, nice to know I've got extra if needed.
