Can't 'like' that but thanks. Think I will hold off for as long as possible see if it gets any better as spring approaches.

I always buy in June/July got them at £205/pallet for 6 pallets worth. Did the same the previous year and we lasted all the way through only started the new pallets in October. Will be doing the same again every year.

The first couple of years on the boiler we bought in odd pallet or 2, by buying all at once when cheap we have basically got 1 pallet free over our useage(y)(y)

We've only started using pellets this winter, and don't use large quantities as it's for a combination pellet and log burner. Bought 1 pallet in Oct, I think I paid £215 but it won't quite see us through the winter. All a bit trial and error but definitely intend to stock up in summer in future.
