When does Lowe's typically start carrying wood pellet fuel? This is my first full winter with a pellet stove.

Generally starting October. If you have the money its better to buy the contractor amount [ 50 bags] vs just a few bags at a time.

Yes, but they only have/order a certain amt. for the season, & run out well before the cold does..So buying single bags in beginning of season is fine, but best buy pallet/s, or what you need to get you through before they're all gone.

Should be in stock now (08/29/2019)
