if'n it'll make you smaile....

call it karma??? we heat our whole house with wood pellets, right now all the stores have sold out of them, and not ordering any more, they say it's spring time now and they hafta get the seeds out on display. there are no pellets to be had anywhere within 75 miles (one way) of me right now. I did special order a pallet load, but nothing has come in yet, others are in the same boat! the local farm store has orders enough to fill a semi, but they refuse to order them in...cuz it's spring time now they say! what part of zero and below degrees makes it spring time? the store manager was soooo happy yesterday, he got the seed potatoes and onions in!! I asked him if his parents had and kids that lived? he's the same manager that when a blizzard was predicted for 3-4 days before it hit, he shipped all the snow blowers back to the warehouse and got a load of new push mowers in! (they are all snow covered). I did e-mail the home office and order a pallet of pellets thru them, and also noted that they had a dumb a$$ managing the local store here. PfffffffT!

Just wait a couple of weeks.  They will start putting out the Christmas stuff and snow shovels in preparation for NEXT winter.  LOL

Lots of the time the store managers don't have any say as to what they get corporate office handle and ship the store manager just puts up what they send.

Our little local Farm Store is pretty well that way, are told when to move goods off the floor into storage and when to set specials, truckloads are what Home Office wants to send in.

JayB was she another Occasional Cortex?

yep...i'll takes a whole semi load and sell it to people that need it! the farm store will just be out! maybe i'll do that next year! maybe I should stock up on sno blowers too? thanks fer helping Joe! you can haul them bags up here when you come after the Chevy Allis!

Hey DJ, ye gots him right in yur crosshares right now since he can'ts get them pellets and he be shiverin soon... so don't be standen around, gets on the trail an gets there before he finds some more of them pellets or starts burnin corn in it...   

Man 'O' man, I don't want NO part of this one!!  Next thing ya know ole Les will be comin fer that dang Ferd he been wantin,,,,,,,,,,,,,an it's buried under 5 feet of snow!!  But,,,,,,,it gonna be meltin come next weekend!!  We're gonna get in the THIRTIES (+30) JC!!  WOOHOO!!

30's and snow hmm, sounds heavy to me.

Not only that, but the sales on pellet stoves has gone down hill in recent years, in part because of how cheap LP had gotten vs pellets.
Now my son informs me that it's gonna get a lot worse.  Seems the 'green' people are pushing for stricter laws.  Previous emissions on stoves was something like 7.3 on CO2, the new stoves coming out by January of next year must be at or less than 3.2.  Those numbers are from what I can REMEMBER he told me.  They might be an educated guess.....  Anyway, he says if you're looking for a stove, now is the time to buy one.
