Wood pellet prices

[coobie]

Did some checking today on wood pellet prices $165-$177 per ton(50 bags per skid)I guess I will buy now verses late summer or early fall.From what I am being told buy now because fuel surcharges will make the price go up $20 per skid,just a heads up for you folks who burn wood pellets.coobie

You also want to look at the date tag when that pallet was packed. Your good pellet price may be on stock that has been setting out absorbing moisture for the past year or two behind the store...

Sounds like pellets will be taking a hit not only from the fuel increases but the raw product ,sawdust is not being generated in the amounts that it was . Guess people are buying gas and food first ,furniture second,go figure.

If you compare this to fuel oil it's a deal.

Locally we've seen a 10% to 15% drop in pellet prices since last year

Oil/fuel prices being what they currently are there may well be a 'run' on pellet stoves and pellets this fall as there was in 2005.

Good Evenin Coobie,
My neighbor went and bought a pellet stove in upstate Ny, I believe somewhere in the Glens Falls area, and he was told that by buying his stove their his pellet price will never go over $199 per ton.

My feelings are that I will burn wood until I cant do it anymore ! The wood is free and its basically my time and I look at it as an excersize form !

That is an awesome price. When we sold our last ton which was about a month ago we were selling them for $239 ton. Are last trailer load cost us more than that to get it. I would buy a couple trailer loads and sell them to in your local swap sheet make some money on it. Also what brand are they. We usually sell Barefoot which we find it to be one of the best.

I haven't called for any yet for this season will be in a couple weeks after the fertilizer business slows down a bit more. We also buy bulk coal and bag it ourselves to sell, make more money on coal that wood pellets.
