The scene at every last hd around

TSC is at $5.39, down from $5.49 at the beginning of the season.

 

It's been that price up here all year.

 

Here HD started the season at $5.79 then dropped to $5.38 then dropped again to $5.18

 

At 1.579 / gallon pellets need to be 3.80 per bag where I am. I don't see that happening right off even with the tonnage at the boxes. The boxes tend to be slow handling changes. So my den isn't apt to get toasty any time soon. Normally my mead sits down here finishing its ferment, not likely this season.

 

Yeah, I've had that experience - that is why I got rid of those Curran's blend during shoulder season - pulling out the ash once/day is okay as long as the stove ain't burning much. Even though I burn mostly chit-middling pellets, those (Curran's) and TSC pine horse bedding (dark pellets) are the only ones that have ever threatened to smother the flame after only 12-16 hours burn time. Even hardwoods such as Maine's Choice don't do that to my stove.

 

it is a product of low dino prices and a warm heating season to date. the local Lowes (Cromwell) had probably 180 tons of product, mostly Greene team in decent condition, but outside. only one or two pallets were spewing sawdust.
the laws of supply and demand will play out here, but it will take time. i had a supplier calling me to take product this week.

 

Drove by the HD in Bloomfield today. Too many to count GS stored outside. I didn't bother to go in and look at the price. Lowe's had cheat river and north american at the register for $5.98/bag.

 

6$ a bag for north american. What a treat

 

Was at Lowe's picking up supplies for the bathroom makeover they had at least 150 tons PTL's , AWF's , GT's , North American , Cheat's and they still had a few ton of Set's left product is not moving @ $ 5.98 a bag why would it can drive 1 mile up the street to HD and save $0.80 a bag .

 

I would walk a mile to save .80 a bag on pellets

 

I just don't think Lowe's gets it , they won't price match on pellets " it's not the same brand " I used to get most of my stash from them , not this year .

 

When I first started burning I LOVED Lowe's. They had always a good stock and a nice selection. Greene Teams could always be had at the SAME price as all the others. I would shop there just to see what they had for brands and would go out of my way even with a HD a mile from my house. Now, I cannot even remember the last time I stopped into a Lowe's.

 

Same thing here , better selection than HD GT's are $7 / bag here now too they are a nice consistent pellet , but when I can pick up Crete's EZ Blaze and a few other softies for less $$ No brainer

 

Oh yeah, agreed.

 

I'm just very Happy that places like Bucks Pellets-Quality Wood Pellets For Sale- Convenient Home Delivery are in my area to give me options and some other smaller dealers are carrying EZ Blaze , and Henry County , and Country Boy's .

 

yep..
let's hear it for Buckpellets... good choices of which most are softwoods..

 

Those are from Ray's Green house , haven't been there in a while ,but they seem to have a good supply .
