I do that if being stored outside - including using the pallet wrap. I currently have 4 tons that were delivered in late March outside and I'm sure my neighbors thought I was weird covering them with more plastic and wrapping them. Actually, since it was a bit windy out, they were probably more entertained by my efforts than anything
"There goes Scarlett O'Hara again, gone with the wind!" And hey, I'd rather have to yell at my past self while cutting down the excessive plastic I wrapped around what I have later, than go, "Why didn't you?!" as it's ruined. Because that water droplet will find the 1 little hole I missed somewhere!
I just started using them again this year and the bag had almost zero fines and burning surprisingly clean . I think they have something with this plus blend
When I transferred them all to the garage a couple of months ago (1 bag at a time), I realized that that the 4 tons they delivered are HW (which I have never gotten before, they have always been Northeast blend). Being HW, the bags don't have any of those tiny "breathing" holes in them. I could have not done anything and they would have been fine
3 tons from HD went into the cellar mid september. We had a 10% coupon and they were on sale(if you could call $299/ton a sale). Basically the 10% was a wash with the delivery fee added. They smell like Newps', but hard to tell which mill these days! Won't have a clue until we are done with the shoulder season and the pellet stove can run 24/7.
Does HD's up in New Hampshire have other brands then Green supreme, or is it the same brands all around new england?
