    For you apparently. If they are bulk shipped and bagged in MA don't you think they would be cheaper than in PA?

    I gave you clarity on why it should be cheaper. Pretty straightforward if you ask me.

    But any way, no biggie. My post was not meant to be belittling, my apologies if it came off that way.

    Skeeter, Some times we can't post what we really wanna say. You might have to back track our old postings to see what we have said previously in other threads. If you see something where no one wants to talk about the topic, Shoot one of us a PM where we can speak freely without the world knowing. If you see the zipped smiley its most likely something we don't or can't talk about. For instance And it should help answer your question. I have a local dealer. He's a great guy. Has good stuff, But his prices have gone a bit crazy.............

    Here is something I didn't really want to type in an open board, But I could not let this one rest!!

    Okanagan platinums vs la cretes | Page 2 | Firewood Hoarders Club

    Most of us here are pellet geeks and keep tabs on the hot topics. We spend way too much time yacking about them. And often forget the new guys/gals might not get what we are saying. Sorry for the confusion. But please respect the members here and no bickering on the boards!!

    A pellet vac set up. Some of the gang made their own DIY and it works nice. Less dust in the house too!!

    Paging imacman DexterDay

    ^These guys made their own and might share the how to info!! ;)

    Quick fix . Plastic paint can drill holes reach into large trash container with pellets , shake fines into small can pour into coal hod .

    I made mine based off of imacmans plans, but built a housing for it.

    With a bottom feeder ( with dual screw and cylinder type augers) it is no longer needed. So it went in the trash.

    I had it up in the For sale section here (for free) over a year ago. No takers that were close enough to get it though

    Excellent idea , now I see the benefit of a bottom feed system . I had an issue with the call light on but stove not running so cleaned the hopper and vacuum hose .

    Sorry, couldn't help but be a smart-azz since it was something I actually knew an answer to :)
