Somersets ain't no slouch! If I ever pass through will do a meet and pellet swap. I'll bring 3 or 4 bags of each and I bet your Somersets run right along with our big dogs! ;-)Specially what your paying for them. $249+ up here! Cheaper if the boxstore has them but they never do in my area!

My Buddies Wife and Kid are Sick and I am still a little under the weather from yesterday. Add that into the small time window we had to do it. Plus its actually Winter here in Ohio. Has been snowing for 2 days straight. Might try during the week. If not, then next weekend. Its about an 1.5 hr drive. ;-P

Im definitely gonna hit them up. Finally got permission to buy some more pellets. With my room in the basement full and 1 Bay of my 3 car gargae taken up, Its hard to get Mama to agree that we need more (Want more/not Need). :lol:

Northern Lights. I never tried them, but they are 60 bag skids and lets say they are Way less than $200 a ton, but more than $100 a ton.

Having never tried them... For that cost, even if I use them in the shoulder seasons, it would be worth it. Guy has 5 skids of them or 300 bags (6 ton)

Not much here on the Forums about them (couple hits on a search). Has anyone tried them?

Stoves in the basement of a raised ranch. Not so open floor plan and near 2K sqft(1974 sqft). Heat is ducted upstairs with the basement at 67ºF still heating both floors. But upstairs is warmer. Took almost 12 years to get this right! Stove is never higher than medium setting even in the extreme cold. Cruised thru -20ºF last season. This chit isn't even cold man, Just a little teaze tis all!

Seriously, I know you love your Mt. V. But! ;-)
