Price of wood pellets in your area?

[Darren]

I'd appreciate it if folks could post the price per bag and the price per ton for wood pellets in their area. I'm doing a study to see if there would be an advantage to carload purchases.

I paid $189.00 per ton. If I were to buy by the bag they would add an add'l $1.00 per 40 lb. bag. There were half hardwood/half softwood pellets in SW Colorado area.

$4.19 a bag in this area, and everyone is sold out most of the time.

[Kathy in MD]

We bought some in Oct 50 / 40 lb bages were $199.00

[Bresias]

$145 per ton in Pierce, Idaho.

Thanks for the replies. The local pellet plant buys sawdust. FWIW, if anyone or a group is interested in a carload of pellets (about 100 tons) let me know. Won't be available until next spring. If someone has a bagger they can also buy in bulk and package for sale locally.

Given the large increase in pellet stove numbers, it might make for a side business.

Locally you can get a ton for 219 for lignetics....however i know of only one or two places that currently have them.

Don't they use power and what happens when the POWER goes off ? Or do you have a generator ?

About $4.25/bag but supplies are usually gone by before Christmas
