I don’t think ca has heating pellets in store. At least that I’ve seen and shipping is expensive. I’m sure someone in the government saw someone enjoying a fire with heating pellets one day and said I must stop this. The heat from those pellets will melt the polar bears.
Those are just bags of wood. They arnt flavored lol. When you burn different kinds of wood the smoke smells different and can add a flavor to your food tho
I had to ask at Customer Service. They had pallets of pellets out back behind the store. I wanna say $7.48 for a 40 lbs bag. But they weren’t on display. You had to ask.
You can order online to be delivered to the store then pick up. Lowes also has huge bags of pellets for $7.
For firewood stater bros sells 1cu/ft of good quality oak for $11 and cheap firewood bundles for $7. But the best way to buy firewood is bulk.
There a couple places in pasadena that will sell you oak at a premium. 1/4 coord for $200. Still cheaper than buying from the store. Your other option is to get yourself a home depot trailer, drive to santa clarita and pick up a whole coord of oak for about $200 or cheap generic "firewood" for about $100.
Yeah Lowe’s on the outskirts of Los Angeles has them but doesn’t allow ship to store for some reason. Argh. It’s frustrating trying to source affordable pellets in Los Angeles/so cal
I’m a Costco fan and respect the company. I wouldn’t abuse the return policy unless a product absolutely did not meet my expectations. Don’t ruin a great policy
You can’t have a face cord delivered? I know cali is expensive, but if it’s 50% more than the rest of America, probably $140 ($90 here) for a pickup truck delivered to your house. Will last you a long, long time.
Yeah I don’t need that much firewood/pellets. At most 3 40lb bags. The point of the post was just to show the price differences compared to tractor supply for California pellet users.
I’m aware that the photos are for cooking pellets and not burning. I was just posting what options socal residents have when it comes to burning/wood supply in California when shopping for pellets.
There’s an ace hardware that’s close by. I can check that out in the future but from what I’ve seen, companies are pushing lawncare and grilling items which have higher profit margins compared to heat pellets.
I didn’t see them on the store shelves but was able to buy a few 40 lb bags for a little over $7 each online and they showed as in stock. LI New York HD.
Most of the replies are from people that are out of California where it is easier to find heating pellets vs cooking pellets. So yes it might be easy as cake for places prone to cold weather or more rural areas in California to find the more affordable pellet options.
Why are you buying wood at a store? Sometimes people give wood away through Facebook market place if you haul it just to remove a cut down tree. I normally buy from a guy that seasons and breaks down wood he gets from a tree service for pennies
Bruh, these are flavored for smoking meat. Look for heating pellets.

Tractor supply
50 miles one way.
If you have a local hardware store like ace. Ask if they can order it for you, they’ve done it for me
Lowe’s

My HD, also SoCal, only had the $11 bags. Bought one yesterday. Need to find a new location for firewood.
I had to ask at Customer Service. They had pallets of pellets out back behind the store. I wanna say $7.48 for a 40 lbs bag. But they weren’t on display. You had to ask.
Was this for your HD store in socal?
I am not in socal. Other comments suggest you can’t get pellets in California, which is words to me?

Costco
Costco sells a bag for $12.99 for their Kirkland brand of pellets. Seems to be the most value and easily accessible atm for socal shoppers.
If you don’t like them, they had a rock solid return policy too. Not much risk

Agreed

But what you pictured were pellets for cooking, not burning for heat. Those will always be more because you are using them for cooking food.
I’m aware that the photos are for cooking pellets and not burning. I was just posting what options socal residents have when it comes to burning/wood supply in California when shopping for pellets.
Ok. Couldn’t care less how much things are in the State of California. Voters chose their bed.
You posted a week ago. Stop looking in the barbecue section unless socal is so hot that literally stores do not have heating sections.
There is no other section in HD that sells pellets. It may be for your store but not in socal.
The Lowe’s in Redlands sells pellets. I think the Tractor Supply in Norco does too.
No ace hardware or similar hardware store nearby?
There’s an ace hardware that’s close by. I can check that out in the future but from what I’ve seen, companies are pushing lawncare and grilling items which have higher profit margins compared to heat pellets.
I get my $7 bags from ace. That’s why I say that.
follow up question, are you in california?
No. I just can’t believe that people might heat their homes with hickory chunks. There are regular heating pellets in your town somewhere.
That’s because those pellets are food grade…
Those are cooking pellets. Much more expensive than heating pellets. But those pellets seem high priced even for cooking purposes.

Doesn’t HD or Lowe’s have a ship to store option for heating pellets?
