Somersets in 'da house...pig stash ready for winter.

[Paul Raz]

I've had my eye out for them almost as soon as I found out about 'em. I don't think I've seen anyone have a bad experience with them. So, when I saw them and realized what they were, I just about did a Napoleon Dynamite'sque happy dance right there in the middle of Lowes!

Which lowes did you find these at? I've checked with about 10 different ones in Orange County NY area and nothing, nada, zip, zilch etc. only have Green Supremes. Although I I'd find presto log bags yesterday and grabbed 10 bags, but nothing else.

I'm north of Albany. This was in Saratoga Springs.

Where?-Where? You got my attention!

I can't find it, What page did you see it on?

 

[Augmister]

Always store inside!

Old wives' tales. I stored two tons of Barefoot on two pallets, outdoors for almost two years and had 0 issue. I kept the original pallet plastic cover on and over-wrapped them each with a tarp and tied off with straps.

 

[Augmister]

Hope some of the 'set's make there way cross the Ct border, havent seen them here since 2010, still have a ton for the coldest days, last year i was burning them and said to myself....whoa!, why am i wasting these, got some GT rest of winter

Yeah, I got two tons of Somersets left over from 2010 when I snatched them in Eastern CT. Burned the Green Team and Fireside Ultra last year to save the good stuff, and saved another ton of Barefoots from 2009. Putting dates with pellets reminds me of picking out wines!

So this is my first year using a pellet stove and after much research and forum reading I have realized that of all the Pellets available to me the overwhelming favorite are the Somersets. I also know that i should buy a few bags of each before buying in bulk(shame on me), BUT With that being said I have found Somersets after MUCH.....and I mean MUCH searching and decided to get 2 Tons. With shipping = $488. So if they suk I have seen several posts where people are offering to take them and even pick them up(I will keep that in mind). But at $488 for 2 tons it sure beats filling up my 1000 gallon oil tank 3-4 times a year so I'll take my chances. I may be a pig just yet. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'll just consider myself a piglet for now

Paul, I did the same thing. I was trying to do my due diligence, and try different pellets. But, everyone seems to love the Somersets, so when I saw them, I jumped at the chance to buy three tons. I'll probably still buy a few bags of this and a few bags of that to try as I go along in case I am unable to find Somersets again.

Sounds like a good plan. Better to know whats out there a head of the buying season. Its a good pratice IMHO. Keep us posted on the those Somersets!

Will do. First bag in the hopper (or hoppah depending on where you are in NE)!

 

[Paul Raz]

Well. They are finally here. Just finished moving them into my garage. Didn't look like that much until I started moving em.
