I bought pellets prior to my stove being installed

[hossthehermit]

Up until a week ago I was not sure if I was going to get a bew wood stove or a pellet stove. Obviously I chose a pellet stove. My p68 should be installed by the end of October. After reading the forums you guys taught me the best bang for your buck is somerset pellets. I called a couple of lowes and I was able to purchase there last ton of somersets!!

Weren't payin' attention to the rules, were ya? Ya can't use ANY pellets that were purchased prior to the installation of the stove, yer required to forfeit the pellets to the first person to point this out ............... I'll be expecting delivery by next Wednesday, and thank you ..............

I did not think of a pellet boiler. I already put a deposit on the p68.

I know a better quality pellet will give you more heat. But the better pellets around here are $300 and higher per ton not including delivery. If the somersets hold up to their reputation of putting ouy alot of heat. Then it is a bargain at a price of $719 a ton delivered.

....$719 for 3 tons delivered

That is not bad at all for them with delivery included.

Three more tons of Somerset pellets were delivered today. I have 4 tons of Somersets and 1/2 ton of North American pellets ( Curran) for this winter.

.....and 1/2 ton of North American pellets ( Curran) for this winter.

UGH.....I cringe every time I think of last winter trying to get any heat out of those things. My suggestion is to mix them 50/50 with the Sets for shoulder season.

Unless they're the softwood version......those are pretty nice.

 

[mikeb3383]

They are the 80/20 blend. My plan is to use them as a shoulder pellet. I got them for free from a neighbor

The install is definitely not a do-it-yourself project, unless you're in that business. But you could maintain it. It needs to be cleaned like other pellet stoves but less often.
I don't know if the Kedel is available in your area, but there's lots of information out there on the Harman PB105 and there's a few other models too.
The boilers are built like tanks - probably because they are tanks, water tanks - and safety shouldn't be an issue. I know I really like my boiler and am happy I went that way.
Sorry to mikeb for hijacking your thread.

If I were to go that route, more than likely I would look at the Harman. Already own the stove and love it so I know the quality. But again it comes down to the install and servicing. While I am pretty handy, messing with a $10,000 boiler that I know nothing about seems a little bit over my head.

heh I just stacked 4 tons in my back patio for this winter and the stove has yet to be installed. I am doing the install myself and have most of the parts now I just gotta start putting it all together. My goal is cut the propane bill down!
