    Acushnet Alternative Heating | Acushnet, MA is where I buy mine.
    I started my season with 3 tons , very happy with them . I also heard that one of the RI. Lowes might have them and maybe the Seekonk store ? It looks like EZ and Cubex will be my choice for this year.

    Just burned the first bag last night. Need to burn a bit more before I can say something. If you are able to take advantage of the Vanderhoofs for $259/1.2 ton, I would recommend it. That's one of the best deals of the season so far. Maybe grab half pallet to start, to see if you like them?

    Good stuff in my book. Name on the bag(Hot Ones) isn't a fib. Pretty clean for a hardwood.

    Most of it....
    went to dump.. checked in at Henry's... visited 92 year old Mom... had to do a minor repair, and get my car inspected..
    Truth is... I don't need too much of an excuse to take time off anymore...
    I guess because it doesn't take as much to keep me busy as it used to..!
