Over the last couple of years, the demand for wood pellets has drastically increased, making it difficult for wood pellet manufacturers to keep up the supply. Some of the reasons for the recent increase in demand include:
- Thousands of homeowners in the Northeast and throughout the U.S. have purchased wood pellet burning stoves to replace or supplement oil and gas furnaces, as their heating source.1
- People burned more fuel due to the extremely cold, extra long 2013-2014 winter season.1
- Power plants generating electricity have been converting from coal to wood pellet generation in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.2
- Exports of wood pellets from the U.S. to Europe are on the rise, having doubled in 2013 from 2012.3

ABOUT OUR SUPPLY OF PELLETS AND YOUR ORDERS

We want to reassure our customers who ordered pellets from us as of September 27, your pellets are here and will be delivered in the order in which they were ordered. We currently have only one delivery truck, and we received many orders. You will receive them within the next 3-5 weeks. We thank you for your patience.
If you have not yet ordered pellets or need more, we suggest that you check our website regularly. We do have more pellets on order, but do not currently have firm delivery dates from our suppliers. We may not be able to get all of the brands we normally carry. We will also post on Facebook as pellets become available.
