I dont care if I am burning oil or pellets, I would still be hanging out here !! I dont care who you are...that's funny chit! I am on another forum geared toward audio gear and although they know their stuff on making speakers for music and home theater audio, and making your house rumble (love them subwoofers ) they have no sense of humor.
Yeah, I wish I had good ideas back when Xerox, Microsoft, Apple and now Go Pro were selling stock for pennies. Maybe then the word "retire" could actually be in my vocabulary
It's in my vocabulary. That's something that will occur in the distant future. After I buy a new truck, put on a new roof, install 4 new windows, jack up my garage, and install a new furnace so I have the option to burn oil when the price is low. But by the time I do all that, we'll probably be out of oil.
I recently finished burning the 10 bags of MWP's I bought a few weeks back. After burning close to 2 tons of FSU's this window I came to appreciate the MWP's a little more. They may not be quite as hot as they FSU's, and that's debatable, but they burn a lot better. The ash volume may be a little high but it's light and fluffy and pushes out of the burn pot. The FSU's a a little ashy as well, but it's a dense ash. It doesn't push out of the burn pot, it creates a sand dune in the middle of the burn pot that grows back toward the fire smothering it. SO for next year I'll buy 1, possibly 2 tons of MWP to go with the 4.5 tons I currently have.
TSC is starting to stock MWPs. Putnam got about 3 truckloads this week and Millbury got some too. I will grab some of them when the prices drop, probably during the late summer early buy TSC does. I have really come to appreciate the MWPs this year and it feels good to support the local mill. Not exactly right around the corner from me, but made in New England anyway!
I should be happy with my two tons of those. Not as good as the box prices on those but much better than the 330 or so I have paid in the past. Truth be told is I would rather Vermont's at $300.
It's $5.59 right now. Or $270/ton. This is the high point for TSC and what they have been at for most of the winter. Suspect they will drop back down to $5.00 when the warm weather returns and hoping the early buy pricing is similar to this year $225-ish per ton.
