Anyone know if there is a company in the Lehigh valley area that delivers wood pellets with one of those trucks that can blow it through a 4" hose into a hopper? I have seen these on the web, mostly in the New England area and since I am in the market for my third stove It would be great to have it delivered directly into my basement.

DBCooper thanks for the reply. I just came upon their website late yesterday. I called them, but have to wait until Monday to get more information from the right person. They do in fact deliver pellets in bulk this way, just need to confirm the price and if it's still cost effective.
Let us know if it is worth it. Also how are you going to move the pellets to your stove? Just pail and scoop or another way? I am close
to you in the same county....would love to know. Thanks,

That's unreal
More money for no bags??? Then you run the risk of it sitting in a damp basement and turning to mush.My house had an old coal stove in the basement with a small door that gave access to the coal chute from outside. Inside the basement is a nice dry area where the coal was stored and from there shoveled into a hopper that fed the boiler's auger. It would be nice to convert that area for pellet storage and have 5 or 6 ton delivered from a truck with a 4" hose like they have in the New England states. From there I would just fill a 5 gallon bucket and hand carry it to the soon to be three pellet stoves.

That's what happens when there's no competition. Fortunately, my basement is dry and I run my boiler year round since I use it for DHW.
