    NO! But, I got to talk myself into this deal. The largies do bite a bit better once the water starts to cool down.

    Can we get an extended fall?? Like right till Thanksgiving?? ;)

    It'll be warm for a while yet. I've got plenty of lake time yet to enjoy, plus I've got to get the stove/ insert purchased and installed.

    I'm set for this winter wood wise, hopefully further than this year with what I have split already. In fall, I'll get further ahead.

    So, it will be a warmer winter inside my house, and also one that has me surgeons less money on my utilities bill.

    I have about 30 2-5lbs sample bags from as many different mills and maybe 4 full bags of my own product in my garage...makes for super spill clean up material....but as far as burning them....don't do that here...I have a gas fireplace, fire pit and BBQ, but no pellet stove.....now figure out a way to use them in an air conditioner and think what that would do for sales.... :)

    Have a friend that hits me up for some for cat litter once in a while and when I did bring in a couple of tons a few years ago, when I would send out samples to new dealers, ended up giving a good bit of it to the horse rescue down the street, but much to Jay's dismay, still don't burn the stuff for my own heating needs...
