stash update

[Peterfield]

Long range weather report I heard today was warmer than normal weather for the Midwest because of El Nino. California has better news

Can you imagine what low oil, propane and NG prices plus a mild winter will do to the big-box stores trying to cash in? It will be fun to watch if it happens.

I'd buy a truck load of $100/ton Green Supremes

 

[Northern Guy]

Well I am done finally. Hopefully be enough for my first season.

It will be interesting. Providing they have overstocked.
Even though they have what seems to be oodles now, we just don't
know how many they will have later on.
Generally, they don't have any in the very late winter, and people scramble
for what is around... Maybe not this year?
Time will tell......

These will have to live outside a while.

A snow machine too? Really? More impressed with that right now. Can't justify one here but would have one if I could. Year round fun no matter what the sky does. Best I can do here is rolling thru the snow on the 4x4 quad. Still fun but not as much.

7 tons of Sets stashed as of over a month or so ago. 3/4 of a ton left over from last year. Bring it! Take your time though. I have no problem with shorts and flip flops unless I'm dumping 40 pounders for that in January. Rookie year is over and the witch likes the heat. Time to pull some rank around here this year. Yeah I'm the tough guy now. I'll revel in that while I can. The broom usually gives a reality check or the squeaks and moans it produces during start ups.

Arranged my shipment of stuff from HD for next week. Added to it 2 tons of pellets to be included in the delivery. Don't know what kind they are, but they don't have any FSU's yet, so will probably be Stove Chow. Never burned that brand before, but can't be any worse than what I normally burn. That will bring me up to
3.5 tons, 2 of which will displace my car from the garage for a while.

surprised when someone buys a ton or 2 and not knowing what they may get..specially from box stores.

Sometimes you win and well.............. Not much of a gambling type here.

Well, they had Chows in so I was hoping it would be those. Plus, I had already paid for delivery of other items, so adding a couple of tons for no shipping made sense - Otherwise it is me schlepping 15 bags at a time 30 miles. IF I lived close to a place that had decent pellets for a decent price (or IF delivery prices weren't so high to my area), or IF I had a truck, or IF I had a trailer, then I would have done things differently. And IF wishes were horses I would not be where I am in life anyway - so really, think IF, does no good. I deal with what are realities for my situation. Also, as I've stated numerous times, I usually burn crap pellets anyway, so about the only thing I couldn't stand if they sent them was the TSC bedding pellets (dark ones). I didn't go for the full 4 tons that I need just because I figured I better hedge my bets.

Don't be envious - it is old (199x) and only cost $700 in 2013 and I only got to ride it one season. The Ex just dropped it off this summer as it was in his way. Ex couldn't even get it to start when he dropped it off, so it was muscled to where it is now. I don't have a trailer so can't get it to trails if I could get it to start. I don't have anyone to ride with if I could get to trails. It is holding down a piece of plywood and that is it.

Just arrived today, 4 tons NEWP with a half ton of Maines Choice from last year.

Just added 10 bags of spruce pointe at 4.98 per bag, had a coupon for my local harware store and wanted to try these. Now I have three tons of blazer plus 10 bags of spruce. Hoping they burn good.

 

[LordmetalZ28]

Friday Lowes delivered another 2 tons ($19 delivery - love it). So now my stash is up to about 5.5 tons. Got these covered up with plastic that evening. If I ever get a freaking contractor to take my bathroom remodeling job I will eventually have room in the basement and garage to get at least most of this in and out of the weather (contractors have been the bane of my life for the last 2 months, seems they all have better things to do than work).

Dont feel bad. Im trying to throw 20k in some contractors pocket. I even had one who came out and gave me an estimate then i called and left a message basically say who do i make the check out to and he wont return my calls. Go figure

 

[CapeMayDan]

3 Tons of Hamers
1/2 ton from last year
1 cat .

Thats insane!!

At those prices pellet users will never recoup the cost of their stoves.

Man, give it up. We get it, you think pellets are too expensive.

 

[Michael6268]

LOL. I dont think they are, I "know" they are.

 

[Tonyray]

LOL. I dont think they are, I "know" they are.

when u spend $30.000 dollars for a car, do u recoup $30,000 when you sell it? you loose few thousand the day you drive off with it..
biggest loss most people take is on a new Car. Best bang for your buck is to keep it for many many years.....
Most don't buy a Pellet stove as something they need to recoup...No one recoups an oil or Gas Furnace either..
it's about steady continuous heat , Ambiance etc.....

In my day, people bought stoves to "save" money due to high oil prices, and most recouped their costs very quickly. Comparing a pellet stove to a car is silly and irrelevant.

When corn went nuts I fed the stove pellets. When propain went to over $4, pellets were a no brainer and the difference made the payoff 2.5 years instead of the planned 4+. Corn is very reasonable right now($130T) and so is propain at 93 cents. I guess the best option is to plan for the future of some wild swings if possible

No more silly than feeling it's necessary to place a dollar value on what makes a person happy.
That is irrelevant....

True. My family and money and saving money make me happy!
Side note- I wonder how many "happy pellet" stove owners would shell out the $ they did on their stoves, let alone the fuel, if they knew then what they know now.
And comparing a "necessity of a car to pellets that right now are a waste of money is silly and a irrelevant comparison.

Nobody knew what the oil prices would be then,
And nobody knows what it will be in the future.
Not even you or me...
But we do know that many will be prepared either way no matter what..

If money makes you happy, that's cool.
If burning pellets make others happy... that's cool too.
Let's leave it at that.

X2.

Jeeze, I'm getting tired of everyone who thinks the whole world revolves around oil heat and their own particular circumstance. I wish they would go find another forum to haunt sometimes. Then other times I'm just amused. Let me buy with my own money what I want to buy, and I'll let you do the same - and I won't call you nuts, stupid or crazy either. Please show me the same respect.

 

[Michael6268]

Ive got swamp land available. Interested???

Dan, I like ya!
You would do your darndest to sell snow to Eskimos! And if they were pellet stove owners you would probably succeed!
