I am trying to get a consensus of what people think about their needs going forward this year, given SO many unknowns.
I have enough to get through most of next year. I may get another ton or two but I've got 6 months to figure that out. In the meantime, my rather large wood pile is looking grand.
None of the choices really pertain to me so I didn't vote BUT I do have about 9-10 ton on hand. Unless I find a "gotta have it cuz it's/i'm cheap ", I'm going to roll with what I have on hand for next season.
Got enough for at least half of next season so I will start looking for more around September as I always do.
I chose the stock up early option on your poll. In reality I'm doing what I always do, buy 3 ton at early buy pricing and then towards the season take it from there.
Going into next season with almost 3 ton , which is half of my normal use , I'm going to wait and see .
Went small quantities in the garage this year and tried to keep purchases at or under $5 a bag from stores or private sales. Have a half dozen bags left with no real need to buy anything in the near term.
I have the better of a ton still. Never know when the burning season will end. I try to start off with a few ton, and reserve a couple more for later on. Never wait for last minute. I remember '08 when pellets were in short supply and some were crap.
I have 6-8 bags left. I'm trying to figure out how to make that last for any potential cooler evenings.
With where I work and although not the best pellets, (though my Croix is fine with them)I can get them at cost by the bag, so I just will throw some in the truck as needed.
make sure you bring on the pickup with the tonneau cover, and come up with a story about your back surgery or torn rotator cuff
he delivers, and has an electric thingy to move the pallets from trailer to garage. Wife and I will unpack and restack. When I do pickup, art or another drives the pallet to truck with the lift and my wife and I pack the truck.
Yeah I m essential, wifey on unemployment and just got the 600 stimulus check, she is making the bank. my 17 yr old was laid off from the Y and gets unemployment and another 600. Make more than I do LOL. Kiddo is giving up 500 of it though for college fund. Seems fair.
