FieldsofThyme	Posted - Sep 30 2012 : 06:45:35 AM What's the going rate on wood pellets in your area? Last year, we found them under $3.50/bag early in the season, but then late in the season they were up to $5/bag. Yesterday I went in search of them, and they are $4.50/bag or 50 bags for $199.00. My truck is broke down, and hubby shared bad news this morning about it, so I can't haul 50 bags. So bummed since the cost is higher this year. Anyone else seeing a spike in price?

FieldsofThyme	Posted - Oct 02 2012 : 05:31:52 AM I'm going to look into prices on corn. The farmer's did well in our area, and we may have to resort to mixing corn with wood pellets or just corn. 2011 Farmgirl of the Year July 2012 Farmgirl of the Month Farmgirl #800 My Life: http://pioneerwomanatheart.blogspot.com/ Recycle Ideas: http://scrapreusedandrecycledartprojects.blogspot.com/ From my hands: http://roosterscrowfarm.blogspot.com/ From my Camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pioneerwomanatheart/
FieldsofThyme	Posted - Oct 01 2012 : 04:52:39 AM We have a wood burning stove and a corn/wood pellet burner. They are at opposite ends of the house for heat. I agree - dusty and dirty, but still cheaper than using electric baseboard heat - $600-900/month. We have the highest electric in our county, and when we moved in these baseboard heaters were installed the day prior. The house had no furnace or heating system in it other than the wood burning stove.

gramadinah	Posted - Sep 30 2012 : 2:41:13 PM $3.50 a bag here in Idaho but we also have a manufacturer less than 50 miles away. I do NOT like our pellet stove it is very dirty it seems to blow out lots of dust. But the oil stoves are going to be VERY expensive this year. Diana Farmgirl Sister #273
ceejay48	Posted - Sep 30 2012 : 11:05:08 AM We haven't checked with our supplier yet for this year's prices but we were already paying the price which is higher for you this year. I'm hoping that we do not have an increase, especially since I'm no longer employed! Perhaps I'll call them tomorrow and check on it.
