    Noticed a pellet retailer in Uxbridge is selling these.

    https://www.vermontnaturalforestproducts.com/

    I would like to sample them but at $370/ton, they are out of my range. Same with pretty much every other pellet product for sale around here nowadays. Not planning to buy anything new this year, gonna weather the storm burning from the existing stash and hope for better pricing to return one day.

    Sad how crazy prices are this year. Fossil Energy is significantly cheaper than last year. Looks like my natural gas at the moment is around 50% cheaper than pellets.

    Around us (SE NH), the 2 places I have bought from sell Vermont for $410 and $415. Fallons is $410 but not in stock. Got 3 tons the other day from East Coast Lumber at $415. I've used them for 4 years now and for us worth the cost. Excellent heat, low ash.

    X2 I've got 2+ tons in the kitty and maybe 50 gallons of HHO left over. Debating whether to pay these crazy pellet prices or just fill the smoil(dino juice aka boifuel) tank!

    I guess if they are calling it biofuel(AKA Bio-diesel) it's NO different than bio wood pellets kind a sort a. :D

    I hear rumors of a "bud lite" boycott from the frugal crowd brewing towards BBS wood pellets! Why bother if you ain't gonna save much. Chit if the HHO price drops any more it's more of a wash any way!!

    I've been boycotting the exotic pellets for years now, Cause no freakin way can I afford them. :(

    I am doing both again, using the sun when it is out,dino juice at night (wife likes it cold thankfully) 62ish. And pellet stove when there is no sun/dusk time. Have 3/4 ton each of Matra and Woods and sons left from last year. May buy a shoulder bag or two at Runnings/TS.
