    They have had a good three years of trends to watch for purchases. Now a monkey wrench in the mix with fossil fuel making a preemptive strike. My stove got reinstalled today. Mostly that is. He hasn't located the OAK yet. I am sure it is around someone in the mess.

    IMO, people went to pellet stoves to SAVE $$ and be warmer due to high oil/gas prices. Well, this is no different. Burn what gives you the heat at the lowest $. As we always say, it's all about having options.:coffee:

    Looks like we just shot a hole in that theory that all pellets must be stored indoors :whistle:

    I really dont know of many retailers that store inside around here. My pellet guy stores outside and I have never had an issue, but of I do he will make it right even if it means driving out here and replacing entire pallets on his dime. Try that with Big Box
