    Well, had to stop at both BB stores today, so I snapped a pic at HD of their pellet inventory. And this doesn't include the tons inside the store. Lots of Freedom Fuel, some Chow, and another I couldn't make out. No big rush to get pellets here.

    Lowes was in about the same situation....lots of tons, nasty North Americans and some other.

    Our HD has row upon row of Stove Chow out behind the building. Wouldn't have seen it but some parking lot construction diverted the flow of traffic to behind the building.

    TSC had about 65 tons on hand(mostly the new TSC white bag MWP). Manager said he's not moved as many as he thought. So no new orders for now. I hinted about a lower price and he got googly eye'd and said "NO, Its not even Thanksgiving yet".

    I can wait! :p

    Lools like to me the future of tsc pellets. To bad because they used to get sets from time to time some awf, greenways. Looks like boring house brand from now on. I dont even really stop and look anymore at tsc

    lord if ya check the UPC code, You might find Lignetic's, Energex and Hamers plus a few others. They don't make their own, They have other mills bag them. I think the count is 7 different mils now.

    I found some Energex(Stove Chow) this year along with MWP(a decent shoulder) and the price is moderate when you can use the 10% coupon. Last year they had a load of Hamers in the red bags with some MWP as kickers. I bought 2 tons of the MWP. Just missed the Hamers. I'm keeping an eye on them, Ya never know what might be in those stacks.

    Reminds me, I gotta go to the new local TSC and see what they got in. They had MWP's at their grand opening a couple of weeks ago (bagged in red TSC bags) and I grabbed several bags to try. I heard from another local that they ran out so maybe they got some other stuff in and it would be really nice if I could score some Hamers or something.

    Edit: Just remembered they sent me a $5 coupon off $25 for signing up for their sweepstakes at the grand opening. Just like a free bag of pellets - woohoo:thumbs:

    Took a spin through Walmart parking lot earlier this week, and stopped at 2 HDs and 1 TSC today. I have NEVER seen this much product lying around before. Especially this far into November. Something's gotta give. Oh, and TSC did their first price drop of the season. Expecting more in the coming weeks. So far HD is out in the lead with $5.18/bag this year; same as last year.

    Crazy isn't it? The two HDs closest to me have 600 and 800 tons each. Sick! This morning one of them had open pallets of GS, Therma-Glo, Big Heat, and FSU for the picking.
