    Thanks! That was just the warm up for today. Guy got here about 11 and pushed the pallets into the garage (too low for his machine to go in - I expected that). By 12:45 I had all 3 tons restacked.

    Those last 3 rows really slowed me down as I had to use my step ladder.

    Now just have to load 8 bags (3 Pres-to's, 3 Inferno's and 2 Okies) into the truck for a swap I'm doing with another pellet hoarder tomorrow.

    Latest addition to the stash; a 60-pack of Vanderhoofs and some Spruce Pointes to top it off. This score set me back (Dan, you won't believe this) $3.99/bag. OK, technically the SPs were a contribution from daffonce. Thanks for the trade bud, appreciate it. :handshake:

    After putting those away it seemed like a good time for a frosty. :drunk:

    I'm only sitting on two tons, and I have to admit that I am fortunate to have that. My son had to move a lot of stuff in the garage to accommodate my wants. I would normally go after 6+ tons, but that can't happen without a safe place to put it.

    I'm sure that you'll figure out how to squeeze in another ton or 2 :yes:

    depends on how the winters go but possibly 3. I've used very little this year actually. If the next 3 winters are like this i might get 4 out of it.

    I use about 5 tons a season. With the 4 tons sitting out by the shed and the 2.5 in the basement - yeah, I'm good for about 2 years. But won't stop me from scooping up some more good deals if they are to be found . . . :dex:

    I am thinking about setting up space outside. Depends on what the Spring specials look like. Gotta take advantage while we can.

    I hope you get the good Timber Heats. I was burning them and really liking them until I got into some bags that has an incredible amount of ash. More than I have seen in any pellet since I bough some Bayou Country several years ago.

    That's why I am hoping to get half Timber Heats and Half Natures Own like I requested. Hope to minimize any batch variance issues. Either way though, for $199 a ton and $20 for delivery it will be well worth it even if I need to clean more often.
