With all this nice summer like weather, we burned 2 bags and that was at the begining of last week.

I am still hesitant to shut her down for the season yet.
 
None...but that will change this week. I see one evening forecast to be 25 degrees.
 
About the same, 2 bags, and those were i think 2 weeks or so ago, in past 10 days,, nothing. I have 15 bags on the porch left from my 2 ton or so stash i put in service (2 more ton instorage!!),,, I'm not ready to pack it in yet,,,, just love taking the chill outof the house if necessary with pelleets rather than gas....I'm thinking mid April or so to pull the plug.

We are still working on one! No flame, no fans - it's too dark and quiet around here for the month of March! :(
 
Maybe about 3 bags, when it was just starting to warm up, I was running the stove at night for the first couple of nights. Stove has not been on for over a week now.
 
0, shut 'er down for the year
 
12 bags in last 2 weeks. I'm sending our cold spring weather your way:p
 
I'm thinking less than a bag. Nothing this past week and only taking the chill off in the morning the week before. I have no idea when to pack it in, being the first year burning as well as how strange this weather has been. That's part of the advantage of the pellet stove as it will be ready at the push of a button if the spring weather turns on us!
 
It's been 2 weeks from today (Friday), since the stove has last been on. I've need no heat at all. Home warms to about 80 thru day & holds it's heat to about 70 degrees by morning. Heck, the last 2 nights, I have run the central air at night to sleep. Can't sleep when sticky hot. So I guess my answer is (0) ZERO. It is setting ready & cleaned incase I need it.
 
I have burned 12 bags since the install on 2/29. mostly turning up the thermostat to check out the flame height, pellet brands, etc. I think it has only been 2 bags in the last week. it will be cooler from Sunday on so I'll have it back on since I shut off the thermostats for the oil heat.
 
Zero in 2 weeks. Been 80° plus for almost 2 weeks.

But Monday night, our low will be in the 20's. So we will at least burn enough to empty the hopper.. ;)
 
Maybe 3-5. Been off since last Saturday evening. But sound like its coming back to life by Sunday night or Monday.
 
2 bags. Running on thermostat so it comes a couple of times in the night. Looks like going to go through a little more in the next two weeks.
 
have to just guess and say ten. not many the lest several days. but we have nights in the low 20's coming.
i am in absolutely no hurry to shut helga down.

let's just say i'm waiting to see what may in northen maine has to offer.
 
Maybe one, the weather is changing in the upcoming week to a little cooler. ;hm
 
'bout 3...been considering shutting one stove down and doin the end of season tear apart...but I know it will get COLD if I do! So have had to content myself with just gettin pellets for next year.
 
About two bags. I'm starting to get the jitters and my fingernails are a wreck. Working to convince my better half that we need a pellet grill!!! She is not buying it. (figuratively or literally)
