    I just finished 1 bag of Inferno Gold with 3 more to go and in my opinion they were just OK. They certainly don't warrant a premium price. I don't know if you've burned MWP's, but I think they are hotter with a little less ash. But again, I'm basing this on just 1 bag.

    And now, February 10th, they are $199/ton, $3.99/bag.

    I've burned TSC MWP's, so that gives me an idea - thanks!

    If the marketing dept doesn't have any plans tomorrow, swing on down. We finally got around to having our La Crete sale. Always happy to have FHC members stop by.

    OK.....two HD's close to me (not the one I posted a pic of) have only half of what they had two weeks ago when the "sale" started. Both stores had roughly 160+ ton two weeks ago and as of today both stores only have 70 and 72 ton left.

    Was at tsc picking up a part for the Mule today.

    They have less than a quarter of what was there when I ordered the part last Friday.

    Talked to fellow loading a ton. Third one he was buying for next year.

    I am guessing that is typical.

    I don't blame you for that. This cold isn't but a taste of what we experienced the last couple of years. After a long day in the cold, a hopper full of softies and some American Honey helps shake off the chill.

    Woo hoo! Just checked the HD and Lowes website. HD still at $5.18. Lowes now at $3.98. $5.98 for GT's. Trip to Lowes tomorrow. Are Timber Heat any good???

    Crap. I just read Steve's review. Not so great. So the good thing is Lowes dropped their price. The bad thing is they have nothing I want to buy.

    Good enough @ $198!!!!!! lol People seem to generally like those. I thought they were ok a couple years ago, haven't burned them since.
