Assume relatively equal heat from Okies and Vermont Wood Pellets and assume acceptable prices for each. How much ash will three or four tons of each produce this winter?
I've burned both and it seemed that Vermont produced a little more heat and a lot more ash. I don't mind scraping ash from the burn box and heating pipes, but I am not eager to fill up the T pipe with ash before end of winter.
Okies have been very good for me even though they are more expensive. But I like having something from closer to home, Vermont. For me the deal decider will probably be whether I need to do major cleaning in the winter.
P.S.
I asked the forum for help finding Okies in my area (MA on NH border.) Thanks for your suggestions. I'll reply and wrap up that post after I buy my pellets.
