Just got through 45 bags. 1st 35 were Old Dominion and now 10 bags into Spruce Pointe's. I'm heating a 1200 sqft house, although I have catherdral ceilings that kill me. I put in new windows this past summer and they seem to be paying off. We're consistently running the stove on 1 level less than last year.
 
48 here. HAD TO PUT THE STOVE ON HIGH LAST NIGHT TEMP WAS IN THE TEENS.
 
Burned around a ton (give or take a few bags) of Greene Team so far but don't know what day
I started but I burn 24/7 whenever outside temp is below 50F.
 
Been through about 60-65 bags of Turman's. Usually burn at night, or when home during the day.

Still have a couple of bags of Barefoot's and Hamer's for the REALLY cold nights in January and February.
 
Yeh that's not the first time I heard about the mass save program. I have to check it out. We keep the house rather warmer for the baby. If it was just my wife and I we would keep it at high 60's. It's real nice in the 80's. I know if I was burning oil the oil guy would be her every two weeks at the temps I can accomplish with "chum lee".

Wow, 80's !?!?! All 3 of my kids were reared in 68* during the cold seasons, but now with the pellet stove taking the temps around 70*-73* they practically run around naked.
 
I've burned about 60 bags since mid October. For the most part it's been in the upper 20's during the day except for last week which saw high 30's/low 40's, but at night in the teens and single digits. Some nights -10 or more.

Downstairs 75 (where the stove is) and upstairs 68-70. Burned a bit of propane, less than 25 gal, but that heats the garage which is not insulated in the roof and runs a propane fireplace in the living room. I'm happy with that. Last year I would have blown through more than half the tank already (250 gal tank).

M55 FS.

Since this post I am up to a total of 81 bags burned so far for the season. Still have 2 tons of Turmans, plus some leftover bags of Hamer's and Barefoot's.

Anyone have an update?
 
124 Bags, 2 stoves, not one drop of oil and toasty! Can't beat that.

I have gone through 2 tons of Green Supremes since the beginning of October. It heats my whole 1600 sq. ft house. This is my first stove. I went with the M55cast FS. Has anyone gone through as much as me?

I'm burning in MA and since Nov 1 have gone through about 1.5 tons if that much. I had 20 bags left from last winter. I've burned 20 Okanagans which keeps the burnpot empty but has fine ash by the end of a week. I am burning my first ton of O'Malleys which keep the burnpot full and shuts the Breckwell down. Won't burn them again.
