    My issue, I guess that is what I will call it, is storage. I will only have room for two tons. The best deal for me is in four ton or more purchases from the locals. Hence the need for a bigger shed.

    I have a four ton capacity Rubber Maid one right now. It is 7x7 I believe. I have been eyeing a 8x10 which should fit six tons give it take. Problem is I need to clear some over growth and level the land. Time is short, especially since it is under 3 feet of snow still.:doh:

    It looks like this season is going to wrap up exactly the same way last season did; green supremes everywhere. They are starting to flood into every TSC, Lowes, and HD in this area. On my way home yesterday, I called HD in Natick to see what they had. He says they have plenty, and asks am I looking for a particular brand. I said "What do you have?" He puts me on hold for a few mins, then comes back and says, "They're green supremes. The really good ones." I almost spray painted the inside of my windshield with coffee. So there you go - hunt over, likely must wait till next season for the fun to start again. Not sure how much hunting I will be doing, though. I have a pretty good stash right now, and thinking a ton of Vermonts and a ton of Somersets will just about top me off.
    :MM:

    Nice! That is a little out of my normal area. But I will keep them in mind if I am ever down there.

    I knew it's been exceptionally cold this winter, but it's obvious that hell has officially frozen over. Propane and Doug are in complete agreement on something.
    I guess it's time to break out the good stuff and celebrate. :drunk:
