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.

There are fireplace stores like fuel and flame in Woonsocket that stock them often

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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

Check Hearthside at the end of Bald Hill Rd. They usually have a bunch.

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.

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 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.

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.

How am I supposed to drive my pellet if there’s no fuel for it.

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.
