    Yeah, I was just looking for an estimate. The weather we have been having is about a 2.5 bags a day for me. So that's 50 lbs of pellets give it take every 12 hours. A sixty pound hopper would most likely start to effect the pellet feed due to the amount left over on the hopper walls. I know some stoves are better than others with this issue. Harmans seem to be pretty good about it IIRC. So 72 is not bad. Although by OCD would be going nuts without being able to fit two full bags lol. Even though it only matters the first fill of the year.

    Same here as we got maybe 6 inches but I got alot of roof clearing done as well to hopefully stop the leak from Friday-which was caused by an ice dam that formed cause I generally clear only the bottom half of the roof and there is no protection at that level for water under the shingles. First time that has ever happened in 20 years.

    Although Kittery got slammed pretty hard again.

    Just went to the shed to grab pellets. Found the lock frozen:doh:. Was out there with a hair dryer for a few minutes. The sound if the trees cracking due to the cold and wind was eerie. But now I am loaded up for another week.

    Wind is howling with the really cold air coming in and the house is creaking from it. At least I hope its the wind and cold and not the snow load that I cant get to :bug:

    Both bags fit easily, plenty of room. I guess I more worried about the extra pounds messing up the auger or something.
