    I've googled the crap out of the subject, this is the north country after all, a large portion of the public up here still are on dial up, if at all. So businesses aren't chomping at the bit to be online. I'm desperately hoping to hear, word of mouth, that there is a new option available. :thumbs:

    The good news is the stove is dialed back, and tuned into this years pellets and is now burning much better. Still much dirtier, but I can live with this. Thanks

    Switched to hi/lo for the evening. Might be colder tonight. Just dumped the last bag of the MWP(TSC bag) in. 2 bags of TSC(Energex) and I'm in to the sets.

    Wished I had a few more shoulders. But it is what it is!!

    Yesterday was a little stove day and through the night too.

    This morning, ahhhh noooo, Big one back on line again.

    Big weather system rolling in with wind and rain and just plain nasty.

    I love it when we can run on just the little stove, but this large house will not stay warm enough with just the little Whit when the temp drops much below 50 F

    Started digging into a batch of shells that are possibly 2009 vintage that were stored in the Barn.

    Much smaller pieces than what we are getting this time.

    Size depends on which gate I pull from at the plant.
    The first gate on the entry end of the hopper (Right at the trash fan end) will have lots of hulls (light weight stuff)

    The second gate has perfect sized stuff
    The old batch I think was at the 3 rd gate and IIRC the second gate was stuck shut or ????

    The smaller stuff tends to fall out later as the material enters the huge hopper.

    No worries. Even after 6 years its great.

    Best part is the stuff does not readily absorb water, unless it's soaked in it

    Keeping the home fires burning.

    They initially forecast some sn*w for Saturday. Now it looks like just all rain. We could use it with all the dry we've been having.

    But some fluffy white stuff would sure make it feel like Xmas.
