Pellet heads!! What's up today?

That ain't the dark side they just use bigger pellets and don't use line juice talk to don2222.

 

This is the first time in many years I’m not buying pellets. Used barely a ton last year. About 3 sitting in the garage.

 

I have 2 tons left from last year. Not sure if I'll get any this year or not.

Propane went down in price but still expensive. Pellets seem to be still expensive and haven't seen a brand or price that match.

 

Did'em you finally get'em your insulation.

Show'em piccy of your basement work, Me'uum nosy.

 

Hope everyone is still doing efficiency checks on the current prices to make decisions:

Compare Fuel Costs

 

Winta's coming is it , summer is coming too

 

Haven't seen this in a while, where at current prices (averages), it is cheaper per MBTU to run electric heat than pellets - assuming you have a mini split or heat pump. I was pretty sure that price inversion would happen when they announced the price of electricity was going down quite a bit starting in August (until January). The electric prices in the below are as of September 8, 2023 but the pellet and wood prices are still from June 8, 2023 so those might have gone up a tad since then.





That is the reason I plan to use the mini split for shoulder season and whenever it makes sense during winter. The pellets I have on hand were a heack of a lot cheaper than what is shown ($350/ton or $7.30/bag), but I I don't know when I can replace them for less than the going price so I might as well make them last. Even during the summer, individuals selling on CL or FBMP wanted $7/bag and I saw up to $10/bag, so I didn't catch any deals.

One would think that this would spell doom for pellets this season, but:
1. People were buying pellets way before the electric price reduction was announced, because of the extremely high rates we've had for a year or more
2. Pellets are still less expensive than propane or oil per MBTU
3. Looking at some of the reports I see coming out, the price of NG (plus its transportation since we don't have pipelines up here) will probably skyrocket in a few month. This affects both direct home heating and electricity production. This may also be true of HHO.
4. Contracts for NG as electric generation fuel get renegotiated in the middle of winter, about the time I expect NG prices to go way up. NG is about 25% of our power generation. About 30% of the cost of NG is in transportation costs.

 

Read? We'um can't do that.

 

See all that work and'em you were cold needed to put on lbs and additional meds need'em to think about it.

 

Go'um back to your search for your past. Me can't read.

 

Well those BP meds are related to poundage as well.

 

I saw chart, you can keep adding and the relationships need to be paid attention to as they figure into the matching not as much as the dates and places, watch out for present-ism The USA didn't exist until 1776. I am in a discussion with a blood relative about another relative he curates a master profile for a joint relative, his locations are incorrect for the time span. Me gets testy at times I reject a lot of matches because of that with the number of ancestors I have it sometimes take me hours to go through possible matches. Would be happy to turn over a lot of profiles to others. I can screw up enough but i did take geography,U.S. History, and Two European History courses.
