    Using two and one in the opposite direction can be beneficial if the further down the piping wants to turn on you:yes:
    X2 on the good score:thumbs:

    Funny you should mention that. I could only find it in a 2-pack so I had one in waiting if I needed it.

    Used my 10% off coupon from TSC to buy a coupoel of things, plus a couple tons of pellets. Can pick them up at my convenience, in the amount I want to load. $224.55/ton (after discount) isn't bad for around here. That puts me at 5 tons, so I should be set for the season (KOW).

    I wish i had space for a 5th ton. That’s a good price. Any choice on brand or just what they have?

    Just what they have - but they only carry TSC bagged pellets, and that has always been MWP according to the codes. Assume that is what they will carry this year. If not, my stoves won't complain.

    Right now I have 2 tons in the garage and 1 ton sitting outside. Working on the basement right now so don't have any in there. Once I get things squared away, I will be able to fit 3 tons in the basement (as I usually do - two pallets to the floor joists). Great thing is I can wait to pick the 2 tons from TSC up in February or March if I need/want to.

    Congratulations on reaching your pellet needs. I haven't been able to arrange the garage to accept two tons. That's all I plan to buy at any one time due to storage restrictions.

    My E2 eats up the TSC pellets too. We get Genevas and Currans for the most part. There is a feed store in town that is selling Instant Heats for $249. Not a big fan of Instant heats, but I haven't burned any in a few years.

    First stove cleaning of the season...
    Decided to swamp out the Prodigy that afternoon before a relight.

    WE used it some back this spring and then never cleaned it before the summer hiatus.

    Good vacuum and a window wash...all good and fire burning

No grandson today due to wifes cold but son came over and we shot the bows and fletched some arrows trying to get ready for hunting season. Sump pump failed, second one this year. This one should be under warrantee. Gotta change it out tomorrow before work and heavy rain starts tomorrow night.

    Always something. I had to fix the garage door today. One of the guide wheels popped out of alignment. Fixed that and lubed it all up.

    They actually put YOUR pallets to the side and save them?
