    My wife has been getting chatty with one of the ladies and I'm hoping we get a chance to look soon. I do expect GS's as thats a common pellet for them. Next is the TSC(852543003066 MWP ) brand. But I wouldn't mind 777220103001 Energex or 013238006612 Lignetic showing up. We'll ask to see if they can get a peek!!

    Be nice if we could request something seeing we figured out their UPC. More prodding and informing may be required!!

    I stopped by there today. They had North American, Pure Fire, GS, Somerset, MWP, and TSC brand with barcode 01323800052. I'm hoping they get the Lignetics too. They run as good as Barefoots in my stove.

    Someone say Somerset? Wondering if Jay's already got a ton in the bunker? This little pig would. :whistle:

    FYI, I am seeing the 013238 000520 Ligs in the traditional TSC bag this year.

    This morning, I stopped at a TSC I have never been to before, checked out their inventory. Loads of the new 100% Hardwood labeled Genevas, GS, MWP, AgriRecycle, a couple Maine's Choice and even some pallets wrapped in dark blue shrink wrap, which I did not immediately recognize. Any guesses what they were?

    I didn't get a barcode on those because when I got close enough to see the bags through the blue wrap I was able to ID them.
    Steve, great guess on the FF, I never thought of that. Actually they are AWF hardwoods. Loved the few bags I burned last winter! I may go back and snag some next weekend.
    :)

    Throw in the Somersets Fred saw and it sounds like you CT boys have your choice of some pretty good pellets.

    Yes you better! While I was down at TSC yesterday, it was a bit of a shocker to see how many tons are getting plundered. I saw two different people taking full carts of pellets to their cars, and there was one other customer picking up tons at the same time I was. The last ton of Ligs had been plucked from the roadside display earlier in the day. Not exactly what I would expect to see when it's 80 degrees out in July. Maybe people are rushing due to the sale ending today.

    I am on the hunt for pellets. HD has stove chow for 269.00, Ace Hardware went up by 30.00 dollars and they have Lignetics for 255.00, and I just called TSC, they have easy heat and freedom fuel for 249.50. Seems like all the pellets went up a little bit in price here!

    Liggies might be the way to go, that's about the going rate for them around here.

    Had to stop at Lowes today, so I looked around for pellets and prices.

    The Highland, NY store has about 22 tons of Greene Supreme (aka NEWP :picard: ) for $259, and about 10 tons of Greene Team @ $299. Also had another ton of something but too high to see through bag.

    What a joke, $299 for those? Actually, $259 for the GS isn't no prize either. Might as well hit the boutiques!

    I agree on both counts.:bug: Just thought I'd keep the flow of info (prices) going. It's not looking good. Dino & propane looking pretty good to a lot of people.
