I was at Lowe's in Warwick and they were out. But that doesn't mean they all are.

Yeah unfortunately this comes second hand from my husband who’s out at A Lowe’s right now, though I don’t know which one. He was actually on route to THD for pellets so thanks for this post, OP!

When I learn which one he’s at I’ll pass on my intel 😄

Edit: Smithfield Lowes has a lot according to my husband.

That’s because there is no Lowes in Smithfield you trickster you. Seriously though, North Providence or North Smithfield.

As someone who always points of the difference between Warwick and West Warwick I should be ashamed.

My apologies, thank you for the correction. 😁

According to my source, North Smithfield Lowe’s does have “a shit ton” as of 11:30 this morning.

Is that a metric or imperial shit ton?

We use Freedom units here, Tzar. 🇺🇸

But the imperial ton is a short ton and Americans are too fragile to admit anything we use is short.

Agreed tcs has better quality. I just happen to be in hd and wanted to let folks know so hopefully no one ends up out in the cold

When we had a pellet stove, TCS would give us a heads up when the pallets were scheduled to arrive. If you call and ask, they should let you know.

I was at the one in woonsocket last week and the bags looked bad. Wet pellets and torn bags. I asked about it and they said some pallets were fine while others had bad bags on bottom rows. I didn’t feeling like looking through them all and taking a chance. Leeway Ace Hardware in North Smithfield just got a shipment in of Lignetics so I went with those.

I just had a ton of pellets delivered from Fireplace Showcase in Seekonk.

Let’s keep this thread going. When someone knows of a place where pellets are let us know. I was told by my delivery driver there are supply chain issues with pellets

Pellets can be ordered online by the ton from fireplace showcase and they have them in stock year round!

They are already out of Cubex. I ordered the New England pellets instead. They told me they had a run on pellets. Here’s hoping they have enough in stock year round.

They just got two more trucks of Cubex on Thursday…. Price went up but they’re back in stock

orm518 t1_iuis2vv wrote

Which Home Depot is in the picture? That would be the useful info. As other comments here have said it doesn't mean pellets aren't in stock elsewhere, including at other HDs.

Oh snap this spooked me for a second, I forgot I moved and no long used pellets

The inflation reduction act is doing nothing to reduce inflation. Even Obama's Chief economist said it will actually make inflation worse.

BMorris2526 t1_iuie2qe wrote

I heard that there is a shortage and they are way more expensive than last year. Welcome to the green new deal.

magnoliasmanor t1_iuijx7p wrote

Ah yes "The Green New Deal" that never happened. It's their fault.

Oh you meant the "inflation reduction act" that applied billions over 10 years for new renewable energy. That bill you're talking about then not the fear mongering Fox News fake bill? The one that pays for itself in the first year with taxes on stock buybacks. That one?

That act allocated funds for renewable energy. How does that reduce wood pellet supplies? Would it not incentive them seeing how it's considered a renewable energy source?

Or are they more expensive because.... Everything is more expensive? All inputs including labor (because wages are up) are up so of course it's more expensive.

You're going to blame your coffee that's now $2 from $1.50 last year on this fake bill you made up too?

I bet you think there's only 25 days of diesel left too.

BMorris2526 t1_iuiih8m wrote

I know that diesel prices are up 33% in a month and that diesel is being rationed.

somegridplayer t1_iuik9t1 wrote

First off, the number they're throwing around is based on days of reserve. The only time that would actually matter is if all cracking and refining was shut down completely.

Second of all, it's always being rationed. Distributors and stations can only buy so much fuel. If you have a bunch of morons going berserk and filling all their jugs with diesel and fuel oil then the dealers are going to run out and they can only buy so much more.

That's what happens when the tin foil comes out in force by people who have absolutely no idea how the oil/fuel industry works.

TLDR: we're not running out of diesel. Stop it.

I'm deluding myself that diesel prices are much higher. Maybe you should come out of your parents basement and drive by a fuel station.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the "green new deal". Oil prices are up worldwide and driving people to alternatives. Maybe aim your blame at COVID, Ukraine, OPEC, or something that makes a shred of sense.

It's actually quite simple, but not simple enough for the progressives in this forum to understand. The President declares war on the fossil fuel companies, he said it, on his first day in office. Shuts down the construction of all pipelines in the U.S. Consequently, energy prices increase dramatically causing people to seek alternative sources to heat their homes.

The Green New Deal only exists on paper and was not passed lmao people just eat this shit up from foxnews I guess.

BMorris2526 t1_iuj36qa wrote

We are seeing a green new deal lite thanks to Joe Manchin. Manchin was smart enough to see the consequences of reckless spending and rising fuel prices. Is that all you have, Fox News. You should really stick to the talking points. It's Trump, January 6 and then Fox News.

You are making shit up because you're either too stupid to understand how legislation works and are backtracking, or are being willingly obtuse because you have to bang a partisan drum at the expense of logic / critical thinking.

I know that facts are difficult to understand with certain individuals. Being ignorant applies to you and your woke minions who refuse to accept what is in front of you. Maybe you live in your parents basement and don't have to pay for fuel or groceries. You're too busy being focused on gender fluidity and celebrating abortion in the third trimester.

What does the gnd have to do with the price of pellets?

How about Trumps tarrifs causing the price of imports to go up

Biden could have lifted those tariffs, but kept them in place. Trump is gone, you have to get him out of your head.
