Somebody Paid My Heat Bill for the Winter

I have an exciting story to tell. It starts a while ago when we went to pick up a few bags of wood pellets for our pellet stove.  We switched to an alternative heating source a couple years ago to save money on our heat and allow us to burn whatever fuel is available. We burn wood pellets during the fall because they burn clean, are in expensive, and readily available. With corn prices higher right now, wood pellets remain really affordable. Later in the winter we begin mixing wood pellets with corn,  during the coldest months because of how hot the mixture burns. We’ve been so lucky thus far in January with unseasonably warm temperatures, but we know that won’t last.

On the coldest of Minnesota nights, when the wind chills are well below zero, our pellet stove keeps us very warm in our 3,300+ square foot home without the help of our furnace. The only time we run our furnace is when we are gone for an extended period of time.

One thing I’ve learned since buying our pellet stove is that the quality of fuel is essential. Whether you are burning corn, wood pellets, or wheat, the fuel must be clean, dry and pure. That’s why we buy Indeck Premium Wood Pellets from Running’s when we burn pellets; but back to my story. When we picked up our wood pellets I remember seeing something about winning a free ton of wood pellets in Indeck’s recent promotion. Sometime after we picked up our pellets I entered the drawing. When we returned from our family Christmas celebration we were delighted to learn that we had won a free ton of wood pellets from Indeck! They promptly connected with Running’s in Hutchinson and made sure our pellets were ready for us to pick up. We know we have enough fuel for the rest of the winter and spring, as well as enough to share with some friends should they need any. With so many grocery store contests and brand giveaways I always find myself wondering who wins these things. Well, now I know.

I want to thank Indeck Premium Energy Wood Pellets for their generosity and keeping our family warm. What a kind and caring promotion!  I also want Running’s to know that I appreciate their coordinating our pick up of the pellets, and American Energy Systems for reassuring us that switching to alternative heating would be something we’d love, and we do!
