    How long do you normally hold pellets at the Upton site?

    Spoken like a true pellet wholesaler. And you're entitled to your opinion. But with $$ being tight for a great many in this country, I think there are WAY more people that have their calculators out than you want to admit to. The price of HHO went down here AGAIN......I could get it for $1.90/gal if I was still burning it (and I'm in NY!). That price, along with your prices on pellets, makes it a "no-brainer" for people wanting to save $$.

    Oh, I also have seen WAY more (used) pellet stoves for sale than I ever have.

    But like I said, you're a pellet wholesaler.

    Like I said earlier, with sales up over 100% YTD, if this how it is going to be going forward cause oil is down ...I don't have a real issue with it. There are always used stoves...maybe its just more people trading up ...since more people are using stoves, it would make sense that there are more used stoves.....but what do I know, I'm just a wood pellet sales man....:picard:

    I know a lot of dealers had ZERO carryover last 2 years. Maybe ordering extra heavy ? Kind of like ordering extra snowblowers and shovels, snow plows after a hum dinger of a winter ?

    Wasn't aware that Douglas Fir grew in VA........?

    Good looking pellets, but some seem just a tad long. Has bridging even been an issue...Just asking

    They flew United????? :picard: No wonder. I had a similar experience coming back fro Chicago a few years back. Flights got all screwed up, landed in Wash. DC at about 10 pm to catch a connecting flight to NY.

    Us New Yorkers missed the connecting flight by about 2 hours, but they said no flights until the AM, and walked away. We went ballistic and started yelling and making a big commotion in front of the United desk. They tried 3 hotels to put us up.....first 2 said "no....United doesn't pay their bills". Finally Howard Johnsons took pity on us......even fed us at no charge.

    I'll NEVER fly United again....EVER.

    These were before the silo which we air convey so gingerly however, the long ones length are reduced in the process to a nominal 3/4-1" pellet in the bag.

    Doug
    Doug Fir doesn't grow in VA but clean never used residual blocks from lumber yards make their way to my mill. We keep them indoors with my dry residuals. They are as clean as my SYP buy very blond.
    A pellet produced with the best of the softwoods.
