    I can get MWP right now for $244, $254 delivered. To me that is high. Wallyworld had them at the beginning of the year at $219. I'm still sitting on 5+ tons, but most of that is good stuff. I need a couple of tons of shoulder pellets for next year but will wait until late summer/fall

    I want to get to them this year year but I was kind of waiting for a colder weekend but it's not looking good so far. I've been burning the tester pellets that I think won't completely cook me out of the house.......but yes, I'd like to burn them at some point sub...

    On the bright side, it keeps the beer cold.

    Yup, OCD. Always looking for pellets and always smoothing them out in the hopper.

    Hey Subbie. Have you burned any of the Lacrete and if so, how do they compare to the Blazers. The Blazers most likely be better but by what margins?

    After this bitter cold passes, I think its time to break open the Corinth and try to save at least half a ton of my Lacrete.

    I will take a look around the local stores and report back any decent findings this week. I would not envy you burning those GS. Wouldn't you prefer to see what late summer / fall early buy brings before jumping on those?

    Eagerly anticipating your Blazers review, so I hope you get some weather cold enough to throw them in, even if only a brief spell!

    I will need less than a whole ton to fill up my storage space. There is not much savings to be had IMHO. Of course quality could be better but it doesn't matter all that much. It really just comes down to me wanting to have a fully stocked shed more than anything else.
