Hi, My name is Sheila.. I use the hardwood fuel pellets at Home Depot or Lowe's.. in the wintertime, they are plentiful. But as Spring approachs, they stop carrying them.. I love them and they make the house smell sooooo much better.. I have had no prob's with the pellets, and I have been using them for over 5 yrs now.. They run about $3.89 a package.. and the packages are about 20-25 lbs.. no quotes please.. If you like yest. news, you'll love these.. I stock pile in the spring and as long as they stay dry and no moisture gets to them, they will stay in usable order for as long as they are stored.. Good luck.. Sheila... ps, I have 12 fuzzies... its needed in my house to stay smelling good... [Posted in FML issue 4685]
