i would fall under level4 on the present form of membership, or level 2 with the revised form.
i only have room to store a little over 3 ton and i burn approx. 6 ton for the season as primary heat.my question would be titles...if 1-149 bags in considered piglet, and 8 + tons is hogzilla gold...what are the classifications for each level in between?
do pigs have a different name for each stage of growth, or piglet to pig to hog? this is to funny, i just want to know what class i am in.

Mike we are up for suggestions on the names and the levels too. 1 being highest or 5 being highest.
This is more of a chat, I just want everyone to be proud of there level. Even the piglets!
What would be some names you can think of for the levels?

okay,so i have been thinking tonight... i like macmans second or revised qualifications.
how about:
lvl 1 = 1-50 bags = newborn
lvl 2 = 2-3 ton = piglet
lvl 3 = 3+ ton = rooter
lvl 4 = 4+ ton = pellet pig
lvl 5 = 5+ ton = greased pig
lvl 6 = 6+ ton = fat pig
lvl 7 = 7+ ton = hogzilla
lvl 8 = 8+ ton = hogzilla gold
22 ton tractor load = lifetime member hogzilla platinum
feel free to change any of the names i have come up with...i think this is great, chuckeled the whole time i was thinking of it and interested to see what someone else comes up with. :-/ :-/
i like this form because lvl one could be the entry lvl...where people are trying a few bags here and there of different brands to see what works best for them.

I think it's getting a little out of hand....LOL....too much for my brain to keep track of....I'm getting a headache :sick:
will be moving my 6 tons plus another 8 bags or so into my "pellet bunker" (was the muck pit under my garage many years ago) with my ranger (if I can get the thing to start, 10 years and 250k miles and it wants to lie down now)
I get to start hauling my 4 tons home on 9/12. One ton at a time with the Escape. Added to the 1 ton leftover from last year I will be at 5 total.
4 tons of Rocky Mountain
.5 ton of Fuel King
.5 ton of something else I picked up on clearance this spring.

Bruce, your gonna put a ton of pellets (or ton of anything for that matter) in a Ford Escape????? YIKES :gulp:
A whole ton in an Escape at once?? Best of luck ..
I have an SUV about the same size as the Escape and the payload is only about 1000lbs.
Most I have dared put in it at one time is 25 bags at the most, which was pushing it.
Driver and/or passengers are included in your payload wgt.

I have to agree with macman and tink!
Eek and yikes, Thats a lot a weight to haul in an escape!
Ask a friend that has a pickup-(gas money, beer and pizza works wonders). Bet he/she would even help haul them in the house too (faster your done faster ya get to the beer/pizza)!

here's a thought... you pulling a trailer?

Nope, not in. I have a tailer I pull with it. But thanks for being concerned. I don't think my son would be happy if I tried to get a ton in the escape since he just turned 16 and is driving it now.

Hey, y'all need to stop switching in mid-stream... I was told that if I got my second ton I qualified as a pellet pig. I got it, but then started calling myself a "pig in-training". I'll never qualify for full membership 'cuz my house isn't big enough to need more than 3 pallets per year. :sigh:

Haubera, your missing the point. The idea of Pellet Piggishness is that you buy way more than you'll need because you can't help yourself.
If you only need 3 tons for the winter, buy 5 tons....now THAT'S a Pellet Pig!!
OINK OINK!
We started the year with about 4 tons of NEWP stacked in the garage. Bought 3 tons in Spring, plus had about 1 ton left over from last year.
I take the title of Pig Pellet with honor. Had four tons delivered over the summer and know that I will need more before the winter is over. Good thing is that there is a pellet company right here in town that I can get to any Saturday morning.
