    regarding the addiction thing - I dont really see it as such. I saw it as a wise financial decision. The price of these keeps increasing, dropping. never know what it will be from season to season. Stocking up at a price you know is really low, plus ordering in quantity is a smart move if you can do it. $65 flat rate shipping means you pay $65 for 1 ton deliver or 20 tons.
    Keeping a few years on hand, I now have the ability to ride out temporary shortages and periods where the price is overinflated. If the prices stink next year, i can wait n see next year or the year after.

    in summary, the first step to curing addiction is admitting to it. As you can see i'm not quite there yet :D

    An addict can justify anything :D

    I moved the ton of ThermaGlo's left in the garage into the basement (will burn them while it is warmish out), so I should be able to get the 3 ton delivery of Oakies into the garage today. Gotta make sure all those :vulture: don't even have a remote chance of getting the good stuff!

    I am hoping it's Timber Heats and or Natures Own. They wouldn't guarantee my choice but kinda said I could get what I wanted. I am aware that some of the bags may be damaged upon arrival. And if there is any damage I will take care of it........

    Most definitely!!! I think I'm going to run over and grab some Nature's Own. Hopefully the pallet is still there.
