1/2 ton here...NO PROPANE yet!!! Heating 2 yr old house. 2175 sq ft. Avg 70 degrees downstairs, 67 up. Not burning 24/7.
 
Jeeez, I've only burned 7-8 bags so far. With today's temps, I'm playing catch-up to you guys!
 
Four bags short of a ton because the wife was heating the back room for a week and a half. If not for that...would have probably been 35 bags,
 
Fifteenth bag just loaded..... all down hill from here. I thought we have a very mild Fall, up to this point. Stove was on all day and just got to 30 degrees outside. Brrrrsk!
 
Getting close, on bag #44 this morning.
 
47 bags down the hatch. Stove off today.
 
Just getting to the ton mark.
 
About 25-30 burned so far
 
3/4 of a ton so far.
 
Getting close to a half ton here. 3.5 tons sitting in the ready!
 
Wholly cow some of you guys burn a lot! First year with pellet stove, burned through 6 test bags of various brands, just loaded 3rd bag of 1 1/2 tons of eagle valley, they are the closest pellet plant to us. I hope this will last me through the winter. Glad to be living in a temperate part of the world :)
 
We stay warm!! anyone else burn that much?
About 30 bags, where abouts are you located in Upstate NY? I have a friend in Old Forge and he has burned almost a ton
 
26 bags up in smoke so far , heading to -20 f tonight,:) Decided to have a peek inside the pipes last week for the first time since install in early April not much build up

Most of us burn 24/7 for 6-7 months. 1 1/2 tons might get me through the shoulder seasons, then I would freeze.

I average about 200 +- bags a year
