    I know... nutz...
    Looks like at least till first of the year, warmer than average temps.
    Heck... this month is nearly half over, already..
    Average temps here... 36°.
    We aren't even seeing that at night!

    As for oil... Lowest here has been $1.88. We figured that to be "the bottom"...
    Yesterday.. they went to $1.79...
    Dropping as fast as the 401's!!!!!!:eek:

    I don't think they will bring in as much as they did this season............

    BBS make their cake with volume, They buy large to get the best price and sell many at a slightly lower price to get the market advantage. So I really don't think they will change things up all that much.

    I'm willing to bet this oil thing will bust apart. It always has. And if it doesn't do it soon, the orders put in for pellets for next year will be much lower. Only way for them to keep the prices pumped up enough to make them as profitable as their other lines. So if you see what you want at a price you are willing to pay and have the room for them, might not be a bad idea to stock ahead. Our wood chopping friends subscribe to a three year plan. A two year plan for us just might be worth considering. This is my first year my garage hasn't been full of pellets. My problem is space. My son and I have two much stuff.

    It will eventually, Just doesn't look to be in the near future.

    X2 I'd love to do what STB does and just have a whole truck dropped off. That would put me on the 6 year plan. ;)

    SMB has MWP. That company will back up their products. So will the distributor SMB bought them from. He has the space so he can't go wrong. Also, he lives in a hell of a spot for deliveries in the winter. He is always well stocked with just about everything before the snow sets in.
