    No more than I have for the last 4 years. I've still got at least a month and half of decent weather before I really get into winter mode.

    Hopefully. Anyone who didn't learn a lesson last winter about having a "reserve" will get what they deserve.

    I'll be starting this year with 5 tons, more than I've ever burned in a season, up until last year. So I'm pretty confident I'll have enough.

    Well it irks me that Walmart is selling a decent pellet (not Penningtons) at a decent price and I can't take advantage of it because of a ruptured disc and not having a vehicle that can haul a whole ton. So I plan on buying a few bags at a time as long as they have that price.

    I only have 13 bags or so...Hoping Lowes in Strongsville gets Set's again this year! Asked last time I was there and they didn't even know if they would be getting pellets this year. If not, hopefully Menard's will have some, but that's a bunch of gas to get there!

    Parts for the Fahrenheit ordered, should be here tomorrow. Check.

    3.5 tons of pellets in the barn. Half check. Need at least one more ton, which means I'll get two.

    I'll be ready when cold comes. I'm banking on at least 6 weeks before needing to burn the first pellet. I'll be up north this weekend, and there is talk of temps in the mid 30s for lows, with lake effect rain showers.

    I also plan on keeping 12.5 gal of gas treated with Stabil JIC we have a major power outage. I'd hate not being able to run the genny if I couldn't get gas. I read a report today that said the northeast could be a little warmer this winter which to me indicates possible ice storms.

    Ask for the person who does the ordering for the home & garden section....they should be able to go on one of the computer registers and pull up any orders for pellets.
