My lowes has 40lb pellet bags for $5 is that about the norm? I'll have to call to check local feed stores. How long would a 40lb bag last?
That all depends on the teperature and pellet feed settings. If its in the 40's and 30's outside, 40lbs lasts about 18hrs. Once it gets into the 20's and below, I increase the feed rate, and that 40 lbs only lasts about 12hrs.
Just remember if it isn't 78-83 degrees, My wife and daughter are crying that they are cold . I get my pellets for $210 a ton / $4.20 a bag. I live really close to a pellet mill, so that helps me get them cheaper, not as much shipping costs and middle men.
