Yeah this is the first year I have had a pellet stove there has been a shortage. I have gone through 4 and a half tons so far. The reason I go through so much is because my stove is in the basement. People prefer not to use electric and oil sources up here because they are so expensive to run. Even home depot and lowes are all out. Most companies have told me when they do happen to get pellets in they will only be selling 10 bags per customer per week and I am going through 1.5 bag per day right now.
