Which would you buy? Both are $279 a ton and I need a couple of tons to go with my left over Hamers.

This year everyone has pellets available for immediate delivery and prices are down. its not just big boxes, its stove shops, local hardware stores, nurseries, feed stores, etc.........

Only problem I see is your math. At $5.69/ bag, a ton (50 bags) is $284.50. Still way too high, IMO, given the pellet "glut' we seem to have this year.
Did you talk to the BJ's manager, and ask for a better price on the ton? If not, I'd give it a shot.

I will make you a deal mascoma, as soon as you (am referring to the general public by that) can plan far enough ahead to let me know to give me some lead time as to how much you are going to buy, when and where you need them and treat this industry as a 12 month affair instead of all rushing to the door trying to get thur it at the first signs of cold weather each year, then maybe my industry can plan accordingly so we will have enough supply in place right before you plan on purchasing, so the dealer doesn't have to finance his stock and can order properly with what your exact needs will be..
When more people will buy there yearly needs in April/May/June and not Sept/Oct/Nov then we will see a smoother distribution flow and since last year people were buying 5 tons when they needed 3, when they had only bought 3 for every year in past, it did create some problems.
This is a relatively new industry and not everything is as fine tuned as other more established products that have several years of history to refer to. But some of us have made HUGE commitments to make this work and by Gawd we are bound and determined to make it so...
Oh, one more thing, tell me the price of LP, Heating Oil, natural gas, coal, wood and electricity for the next 5 years, so I can plan accordingly as to what to expect from them, then maybe I can price accordingly out further also...
