Up in the north woods I think they all congregate on the dirt roads. Bear and coyote crap everywhere.
Must be a fluke in my area. All BBS including TSC have stacks of em. And talking with the Pellet peeps, Their sales haven't been banner either. Guess there still be an oil glut going on over here. Only other thing I can figure is their selections aren't all that spiffy(meaning BBS). Or could it be $$? IDK!! Come on spring prices! And spring for that matter! Me stacks be getting low............
Last weekend, Lowes in Greenland had plenty of Inferno at 5.19/bag. Right now, Lowes Rochester is showing over 700 bags available.
Well this is interesting , My brother called me up to see what was available in my area because everything in his area (Worcester BBS) were all out of pellets. Last week I bought some eagles and Spruce Pointes and before then I went to check what was available. TSC had about 25 tons of MWP, Lowes had about same of GS, and home depot had at least 20 tons of FSU. I told him I would check as KAS did not have any of the good chit and had not planned on getting any more for a little while. I checked HD and they were out or limited supply check first, HSC had 3 tons and the guy said if you want a ton better come right now they had sold everything this weekend and only had a few tons, Lowes was expecting another delivery on Tuesday. WTH one week makes a difference when peeps are freaking out after a cold week and a snow storm. Might end up having to head down to Uxbridge to grab some pellets. Not a bad thing for me but this is interesting as so many pellets were sold in just a week and little or nothing is available locally.
Took a ride this morning as it pains me to be burning eagle valley or other top shelf pellets in the cellar dweller stove looking for some less expensive pellets. No DICE every BBS is sold out completely unless of course you want bark mulch or fertilizer. Ended up calling my Pal at KAS and split a ton with my brother of NEWP, priced equal or lower to what the BBS have them when they do have them. Only other pellets available were at Ace Hardware Ligs which were $300 a ton and that was not happening. Crazy Chit and am looking into finding a place to store pellets indoor's as this is crazy but is what it is . Good news is its warming up !
14.5 tons at Lowes 1.5 miles from me. Got a new mail box to put in when I can use the post hole digger and one to replace the no door left model.
TSC local to me was out for a couple of days but got a 22 ton truckload on Friday. Still selling them for $229 ton as they have been all winter long...
I needed to get a couple .045 grinding discs for the 4 1/2 grinder at Lo$es. walking to the contractor checkout i hear two guys asking a worker guy where the wood pellets were. He said we don't have any more. Shamelessly, I said I had plenty, handed the guy my card and said come see me tomorrow, I'll fix you up!
Shameless, no. The way I see it you are doing them a real favor! Best part is, if they do come see you, chances are you just made some long term customers. Next thing you know, they tell a couple friends, and you know the rest...
As I was going by Aubuchon's last night on my way home, I noticed they had about 1/2 the stacks that were there when I originally commented. The only reason I looked was they forgot to turn off their outdoor sign and I saw that they had a notice about "pellets in stock" on it.
Local TSC has been out (again) for the past week. Yesterday when I drove by, there were 2 open pallets of horse bedding outside the front door. Bet they could have easily sold another 2-3 truckloads if they didn't keep running out.
