Lowes North Windham Maine $1.99 Bag!

oh, Lowes will carry them....the hundreds of skids that did not sell this year that they moved to covered storage. the question is (and the answer is easy) how are they going to sell them next year for $359 a skid? when their costs have gone up just moving them around, and the losses that generates tossed in as well?

 

I think they F'd up should have dropped the price on the GT's they have to $ 4.99 before they dropped the price on everything else push these out the door 1st why add to the cost by moving them around and damaging bags which will happen adding to the loss $$ just my thoughts

 

I think they think it is their "Lexus" line of the pellets and just can see the trees through the forest. When they are left with bags of "Lexus sawdust and clump" they'll be tossing them out. High cost item to write off losses on. Just might be better as a write off then $100 a ton.

 

I've been busy and haven't been around much. Figured I'd check and see what Lowes around here has going on. $5.18/bag.

I paid $199/ton for my stash last fall, and that's the 'usual' going rate around here. I'm glad to see that folks in the northeast are finally getting some good deals.

 

Pellets so cheap, my fuel value calculator doesn't go low enough:

 

Thank your for the kind words. $99.50 last weekend was unbelievable for in New England.

 

Oink oink my 4 tons arrived (1 gs and 3 na) i have transfered 1 ton to basement. 6.2 in basement, 3 outside for now, and .33 upstairs. Think i am set for a bit.

 

Pellet raid?
Guard it with a big thick wall of mixed smoothies.

 

Glad to see that you have purchased North American (Curran). I think the North American pellets are under-appreciated.
I have burned North American and Maine Wood for two years. I would say that North American is just as good as MWP.
The Curran family are good people. Kelli Curran, the Director of Marketing has always
been honest with me and open with information. She has even confirmed with me some bag brands that Curran does not
supply when I have asked her. Kelli's father runs the pellet mill while her two uncles run the forestry business. Because the Curran family also owns the timber harvesting business,
they have good control over the feedstock that goes into the pellets.

 

Wow, never seen one of those slide rule calculators for pellets.

 

That sir is pellet porn!

 

My father inlaw grabbed it for me when they came up to watch the jumpers at Harris Hill. There was a company there selling bio-fuel boilers and whatnot.

 

this is my stash from Lowe's.

 

Is that in Brattleboro?

 

You got it! My wife and I have gone for the past few years; it's an amazing event to see live. TV does not do it justice. We hiked up to the edge of the take off ramp. It's unreal...it sounds like a car driving by when they launch.

 

I'm surprised I remember that. I guess I have a few brain cells left after all! It's been a lot of years since I lived down that way. It sounds like the place has gotten bigger now if they broadcast events on TV. It was just a little local hill back in the '60's.

 

It's still a fairly local event. When the local jumper from Brattleboro was on the hill, the crowd went nuts. And the guys who helped prep the set let the air horn on their dump-truck rip.

To anyone reading this, it's a great event to see and worth the drive. My wife and I always look forward to attending.

 

What is it ??

 

Nordic ski jumping. It's a good excuse to stand outside in the middle of February.

 

And drink Beer

I like watching that
