    Sort of like a messed up plate of food. Pay no attention, it will all go down the same!

    Dear husband was not happy to restack the ones from the ground (rain runs through the pole barn), but we both know the kid works hard for his money, and does a fantastic job on everything else. Last year he did a few tons per trip, I will go back to splitting up the orders again next year:)

    PS, I like to mix up the food on my plate before eating :flipeggs::stirpot:

    BTW- Nice stash Pete. Magic Sparks and Pro pellets. Although the same exact pellet are a great pellet to have. I'd love to get some more at a decent price.

    Menards carries four brands usually all $3.99 a bag and they almost always have majic spark / pro pellet along with Michigan and usually one other type in the mix. The issue is they wont tell you on the phone what they have because they are all listed as the same brand pellet. I make the drive because I always need something from Menards..... Not sure if there are any near you but thats the best price I have found even if you gotta dig a little for em. They also keep there pellets indoors or under a lumber bay so they are dry as we found out last year! :) :)

    I used mostly pro pellet last year and loved them. I did get a good steal on greenheat and they burned with almost no ash however they where not as hot burning looking back. We also tried a tonnof other brands but non where as good as propellet / majic spark in our stove except kirklands.

    This year we are going all propellet / majic spark no more experimental burning. ( unless we get another screaming deal that is.... lol

    You cheat Pete - when I stacked wood I didn't have anything at the end besides the drop-off at the side of the pallet, so I had to criss-cross each layer.
