Joined 2007-10-22 No wonder there is a pellet shortage here in new england with all you pellet pigs
hording 4 ton 5 ton and 8 ton stashes.

I spent all afternoon & 1/4 tank of gas going to 4 stores just to hear sorry we are all sold out & we dont know when we are going to get any more or what the price will be when we do. And I was only planning on buying 15 or 20 bags.

You pellet pigs should be ashaimed of yourselves.

I have 1/2 ton of assorted pellets, twenty five bags, 15 of which were left over from the ton I bought last winter & 10 bags that i bought this year.

Its a good thing that I have 4 cords of fire wood split ,stored & seasoned or else I would be in big trouble. I am just going to have to run my secondary burn wood stove a lot more & my pellet stove infrequently to make up for all the pellet hogs overstocking & hoarding the pellet supply.

updated my avatar...pigcop......anyonw want it for the pellet pig membership?

 

[Souzafone]

Not sure I agree with the cash and carry qualifier unless the carrier is capable of handling the qualifying amount in one trip, like say a deuce-and-a-half, after all the whole point of being a pellet pig is to screw the oil companies. That being said I qualify by having a stove and also 6 tons delivered in August that I stored in the basement---by myself in one marathon session that still brings a tear to my eye. My response in the thread that started our wallow in the mire---"6 tons in the basement next to 275 gals of HHO aka diesel. Almost 2 years worth of pellets, probably a decade of HHO going by my last 3 years consumption, or 13,750 miles in the TDI."

Do we have any master pellet pigs here? Time for a Tim the tool man Taylor Grunt when looking at these photos.

I'm definitely a card carrying member. I burn 2 tons a year and have had 6 tons on hand since April. Anybody have enough stock for more than three years?

 

[mtalea]

I think bubbrubb's avatar should be nominated as the official pellet pig icon....all in favor.........

Just a suggestion and can be voted for at the next meeting. I think we will adopt a voting policy such as the nextel fireman's commercial.

Just so we got the requirements down in writing. Feel free to add or comment on the minimum requirements

Must have
1.) Must have over 3 tons of pellets on hand prior to the first frost of the year.

Must have two of the following three

a.) At least one pellet stove, two stoves will get you a gold star on your membership card
b.) Have at least 3 additional tons by the first frost will get you a silver star on membership card
c.) "cash and carry" your pellets. True pigs drive gas hog trucks and can move their own pellets and this will get you a bronze star on your membership card

Thanks for your support

I'M A PELLET PIG!

I second the motion!

 

[cantman]

I wanna be in too!

1) 4 tons in garage
2) Harman XXV stove (self installed, does that mean anything?)
3) Chevy Express Van body with a enclosed utility body - I transport one ton skid at a time
4) self built hearth pad

Am I in?

 

[metpound]

I'd like to be a member and think I can slide in with 3.5 tons in my garage. Picked them all up with my chevy 2500 silverado at the local hardware store. Please pass my membership I plan on stockpiling more in the spring when prices drop, too expensive now for the 1st frost.
