    Anyone know of getting bulk delivery? Pro's and Con's?
    I have seen them advertised on tv for this area primarily for those with pellet furnaces.

    I haven't heard of it available in my area, but NG is plentiful around these parts. Except where I live.

    My opinions:

    Pros - probably cheaper, no bags to deal with, if you have an auto feed system you could most likely go a long time without doing much to the furnace/boiler.

    Cons - a large storage bin outside or in the basement that could hold the pellets.

    If it were available and I could save enough long term to pay for the storage system, I'd definitely consider it.

    Biggest con I see is limited brands offered and you'll need to dip into the kitty for a silo/storage bin. Limited dealers and no price competition.

    The least amount of movement of the pellets is the best.

    I looked into the local company who has bulk delivery in this area. First, no price point advantage. I find that odd. Second, to them, no brands, just all "premium" pellets. That's BS!
