    His prices aren't what I want to pay this time of year. I only use Him and BT during spring price deals. My beast isn't picky and I save lots of cash this way. I do pass on people with picky stove and ones that need super hot stuff.

    I got to save as much cash as possible to afford top notch brew and toys we use during warm season! Only rocket fuel I need goes in mine or the boats tank! :p

    Huh? Haven't noticed as I haven't been looking-work is taking up all my time and energy right now. Guess I have to start checking around. I have plenty, but since there's a shortage I NEED more :whistle:

    Just came from HD in Rochester. Saw a woman with AWF in her cart..good sign. Went outside and there is a guy sweeping up about half a pound of spilled pellets- all out.

    Wasnt a wasted trip as NH is sponsoring an instant rebate program on energy efficient bulbs. Got 4 LED 60W equivalent bulbs at 10 bucks off each one making them 4.97 each :thumbs:. Love these new soft white LED over CFL as they dont need to warm up plus they use less energy while lasting longer, but way too expensive for me to buy until this program started.

    Scored FSU's at HD today, they had about 12 ton of those and 5 ton of ****gulp**** North Americans. Our local pellet house, Cozy Barn, had only Easy Heats in stock yesterday. Needless to say I walked away quickly. Their Keystone's and Turman's are coming in this week. My man Will is supposed to stop tomorrow to oink up some FSU's.

    Why is it that up in Maine and down in PA, FSU are avaiable. But yet smack dab in the middle I see only stove chow? Although I wouldn't pass totally on chow, I do prefer the CA made FSU over chow. They seem to be a tick hotter with about the same or slighly less ash content.

    Almost 2 seasons since I seem them last! Errr, Please send some to CT already! :mad:

    I did early in the fall when all they had was GS. I had to about beg to get PTL's. I try again if I can catch him. He's only there during the day M-F and I have the same hours. But its going to have to be on a day off I suppose.

    Nice to hear somebody bitchin about pellets we have in Maine that you can't get. Usually it's the other way around.

    The last couple of years HD has had them at the beginning of the year and when they're gone, that's it. They must have begged pretty hard to get more this year.
