    LOL ! I was at HD oinking up as many FSU I could get in my Ridgeline (2 trips-65 bags). As I am loading away, I see people putting 1 or 2 bags in their shopping cart :rolleyes:-and most of them taking the pretty bags of Greene Supreme and not touching those nasty looking black bags of FSU :rofl: :lol:

    I went to the local farm supply store down the street this afternoon to get some propane. While I was waiting for the tank to be filled I checked out their pellet prices that they have posted. What I found interesting wasn't their prices, (they are very high) but both MWP and Maine Choice were marked "Limited Quantities Only". I'm glad I'm sitting on 5 tons. It could be another ugly winter for some folks.

    I've been hearing some area's are really thin on supplies. But then others aren't as effected. I can still get em from the box stores and even the super markets. But the pellet houses are already limiting supplies and many brands are out of stock.

    Bunker is stuffed with more than needed because I listened to the skeptic's(Thanks Doug and LW). Won't be cold at my house either!!

    Why do I have the feeling you would have been fully stocked regardless of what any one had said. Oink

    Well, I got one of six ton downstairs.

    I thought about leaving 3 ton in the garage, but I am rethinking that.. So all 6 will end up down there. This is a spot I never put pellets before. So I should have plenty of room.

    I also used my 1st "slide" (Thanks Smokeshow) . It worked extremely well.

    5 ton left and then fill the wood rack :dex: Then bring on the winter!! :D
