    I had 1.5 tons of oakie gold left over. I bought 2.4 tons of spruce pointe amd 2 tons of blazers. Loaded 1.2 tons of spruce pointe and 2 tons of blazers into the basement today. I will start the season with 2 tons of spruce pointe, then 2 tons of blazers, 0.5 tons of spruce point, and finish it off with 1.5 tons of blazers. Might pick up a random ton if i see any good deals. Now for the pics.

    I don't know where DexterDay is, normally neat stacks like that would "excite" him enough to give some comment.
    Looks like you are getting all set for the winter. I wish I could say the same. My storage space is completely taken up with all the stuff involved with this house make over. I think I'll most likely end up getting MWP from our distributor in Jay Me. He is one heck of a nice guy to deal with. Puts the pellets in the garage for me so I don't have to have them moved into place.

    Ive always wondered about that. Mine are on pallets but against a concrete wall. Should I put a barrier there?

    Then again, I have had any issues doing this since 2009...... :)

    Mine are on pallets as well but I leave a gap between the pellets and the wall. Maybe I don't need to?

    You know we are all giving away that we have concrete walls that we probably should insulate for better heat and less pellet usage. :emb: :doh:
