Wood Pellet delimma...AGAIN

[happyappygirl]

Anyone?

daymn!! again? I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a created shortage to drive up the price due to sudden supply and demand problem?? This is just ridiculous and unacceptable. Didn't any of the supplier have foresight to think they'd need more in the winter or something? Is the hold up in the production of the pellets? Have the cost gone up drastically in these hard to find pellets? Is it above the cost of fuel oil at this point? That's just ridiculous. I'm soo sorry you and others have to be dealing with this - especially because it concerns something so vital this time of year - heating the house. Hang in there I'll let you know if I hear of something but lots of my friend (outside of the forums) are going through the same thing right now too and are in the same boat as you.

You sure used up that 5 lb bag I gave you quick.

 

[Dougstermd]

I know where you can get a bunch of rabbit pellets

I've read that some people use dried corn kernels. Why don't they pop?

 

[Bonehead]

Your pellet stove must be designed for dried corn. I 've burned corn but it sure stinks kind of like burned popcorn. Why doesn't it pop not enough moisture in the kernel.

demand went up in accordance with the 117% rise in sales on the east coast, which was in response to the high cost of fuel. they mfg has opened a new mill just last week, so hopefully they will catch up soon

Was able to buy a ton at Bryans Road Building Supply last Friday. They are located at Route 210 and Route 227 in Bryans Road. Price was about $255, over $5 per bag. Most I had paid in previous years was about $4.20/bag, but at least I have enough now to get through most of the winter.

Holy crap! When we had ours at our old house we payed $2.35 a bag! That was just over 3 years ago!

I've asked my family to buy me a few bags of pellets for Christmas, that's how dire the situation is. I'm not overly concerned if we get pellets we get pellets, if we don't, we have a nice shiny new pellet stove we can look at until next winter. It'll at least block the draft in the basement fireplace. :shrug:

It'll get better when winter is almost over. AND THE GREAT PELLET HUNT CONTINUES.

I'm sitting on about 20 bags...whats your problem..go to Mr W or the Hen yard

Probably because I have no idea what or where Mr. W or the Hen yard is. But I never said that I didn't have any pellets.

Hook a sister up my fellow swine lover!

 

[Christy]

Woody Pet or Equine fresh wood pellets for stall bedding??

:tease:

BUT, does that work better than straw for pig bedding? I only want the best for my girls!

 

[Christy]

straw is still the best..only good where they pee or where you need to obsorb water...mabie under your bedding but Wee never pees near the barn where he sleeps..

What? Ya think because I own pigs I was raised in a barn? I know nothing about tending to large live stock (well unless you count my kids )

 

[Christy]

I forgot city folks even have pigs now..

If Paris Hilton can own a monkey, I can own pigs!

 

[Christy]

You can do whatever you want my dear

And aren't they the prettiest pigs you've ever seen?

 

[Christy]

This is the prettiest pig..

No! He's the most handsome! He has a fine swine physique!

The problem is just in this area. I was back in Baltimore this past weekend and pellets are not a problem to buy. The Andersons True Value in Harford Co had plenty as did the Ace Hardware in Northeast Md. Call COURTLAND HEARTH AND HARDWARE in BelAir Md...THEY HAVE PLENTY!

My husband got 20 bags from Walmart (California) last week. Walmart told my husband that they get pellets everyday you just have to be there in the morning to get them. They are gone as soon as they are put out. Something worth looking into.
