Ann, the same thing happened to me. Last week there were 2 pallets, each 5 feet high, and tonight, there were 3 torn bags! It's probably because people know that Home Depot doesn't carry them during summer weather, that everyone (even the people who use them for fuel) stocks up at winters end. And I tried to get them to order me some last year, but go ahead Ann, make the call. Or send a letter - that's easier to pass around. So if anyone doesn't have a stash of wood stove pellets, RUSH out and get them. I'm hitting ALL the Home Depot's in my area tomorrow AM. My ferrets are worth it! Burnie, Kouri, Welly, and Neugi will reward my efforts in their behalf by using the litter pan! Georgia [Posted in FML issue 2236]
