@Aria Maybe you could get something on wheels so you wouldn't have to lift the bags. I am thinking of a handcart or something like that. Attach a bin to it - fill the bin in the woodshed, roll it into the house, fill the hopper of the pellet stove.

Jared, do you have a generator? Wood stove, or other form of heat?
Jared, did you call the power company to report the outage? Likely they know already. Consumers Power (our electric company) will have a "restoration update" on their recording.
According to Idaho power, it is line interference. Originally, it said it will be back on at 8:00 AM MST.
Now, they pushed back to 10 AM MST.
Me either but then at the time I wasn't finding any firewood there either. I was buying firewood in log length in semi loads once a fall.
When I got to the point that I was still cutting and splitting firewood in nasty temperatures in January, I switched to a pellet stove.
Depends on where you are and the quality of the pellets. I paid $309 a ton for a pallet of 50 sacks of high quality pellets. With tax it brought it to approximately $6.46 a sack. One local store is selling high quality oak pellets for $9 per 40 lb. sack.
All I have available is electric baseboard heat in the basement. I have them turned off at the breakers so there is no heat in the basement. I use the pellet stove in the living room as the only source of heat in the house.
