40lb bags up from $4.40 a bag to $7.50 locally and in Billings. Thanks, FJB for your war on fossil fuels and America.

I had been paying $6.50 for a couple of years for hard wood. Now I can only get pine and that started with the Trump years, so I doubt politics had a lot to do with it.
Pellets are a losing proposition no matter how you look at it.
I hope you have more luck than exactly everyone I've talked to with a pellet stove. All I ever hear are complaints about them not working after a short time and how much maintenance they are.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
we bought 3 tons about a month ago I think they were apx 5.00 for a 40 lp bag
we have had a pellet stove at least 15 yrs I have replaced a few parts but that is expected, for any thing , nothing truly expensive so far
we have propane as main source of heat and bought the pellet stove when propane started getting crazy .
but as always, demand and prices went nuts on the pellets also . no win for the working class .
so we use both based on the temperature and cost of the heat source.
I am sure we will get at least one more ton of pellets . had our propane tanked filled a few months back for 2.35 but they would not lock in price or let us pre buy at that time .
we also have several portable electric heaters we keep around and have put them to use over the years also
did I mention I hate getting cold LOL
Ours has been running 12 winters with no parts replacement. Won't heat the whole house but snugs up the bed/sitting room with nice ambiance. They do not run without electricity so are of no use in a power outage.
