This Forum is Creating the Pellet Panic!!

[the pony boy]

Just used a lowes coupon at my local hd (southeast)and grabbed a ton of chows. I've had no problem obtaining pellets this year and have averaged 210 a ton for the six tons I have purchased. I did note that my hd had zero tons available online but had 22 available on the computer inthe store.

My buddy got an insert installed the last week of September, the place he bought it from won't be able to get him the 4 tons he ordered until the the 2nd week of November if everything goes well.

South Shore pellets- not taking orders
Pellets Direct- not taking orders
Wood pellets.com- sometime in November
Kirleys- November

So on and so on.

With oil prices so low, I wonder if pellets will become available later in the season as people use oil instead. I know I probably won't start using pellets until December when oil prices should go back up and the temperature continues to drop

Its almost as bad as 2008.

I'm wondering that if everyone would just be calm and we had a one month moratorium on buying (for those who have pellets already), I suspect the prices would start dropping when panic sets in at the retailer level as their stock just sits there.

We, meaning all pellet heads, would never be able to coordinate this! Great idea, but not achievable.
