I'm a new member to this board and am giving a shout to my neighbors in MN. I'm from ND and am wondering where your purchases of pellets have been from. I purchased a MT Vernon AE a couple of months ago, not really anxious for the cold to come around but hopefully this stove will help with my heating needs. I feel for the people out east, I follow this board often and some of the prices I've seen for pellets are way out of range. I was able to obtain my pellets in Aug for 179.00 a pallet. I hope they burn well as choices here are very limited. So if anyone from my area is here, give a shout back. Thks
