Ive burned 4 1/2 bags in the past 3 weeks but none in past 2 days.
 
80 degrees today, ac is on! Total this year about 10 pounds
 
Bag every 2 to 3 days... 2 bags so far + 5 gallons of Corn.
 
I put away the AC's and took delivery on three tons Saturday. Naturally I'm sitting here sweating waiting for the Bruins to start on the widescreen.
I still have the flue plugged with foil. I saw oil advertised at$2.79 today. I filled in July for $3.29. What's next, no pellet shortage?

The first bag is not totally burned since sept 4th.
 
Was gone the first week of October and came back to a very cool house. Lit the three and probably went through about 25 lbs of fuels in five hours before shutting down. Got the whole house warmed and the domestic water tank up to temp too.
 
3and a half. New to pellets and trying to find a brand I like. Bought a breckwell señora p23 about a week ago.
 
Haven't burned in almost a week way too warm. Probably 2 1/2 bags all together
 
I'm into my 9th bag (hopper is filled with Oakanagan Golds on the bottom and Stove Chows on the top) since my insert was installed August 20th. I'm fortunate that my insert is more as a way to recover a previously unusable fireplace and I have a new NG furnace. These are 9 unique bags and I'm taking notes, making my matrix in Excel, and noting how each bag runs in my Milan while exchanging info with my pellet-buddy coworkers.

I've got about 30+ bags in the garage as I build my inventory. I did not live thru past shortages so I am learning from the 'experts' here.

This is a fun hobby now. When it get's cold, my family will finally start to enjoy the benefits of my 'research' instead of calling me a 'crazy nut'.

Ran the AC yesterday to cool the house for a brief period - temps around 80. Just about to turn the system on now because it is 76 degrees inside and about 98% humidity.
 
I think I've opened a total of 3 bags, but that's for 2 stoves and both still have some in the hopper. Neither stove came on overnight last night and I was still too warm!

How many pellets are you burning per day right now, state your stove/boiler and how many

Harman Pb105 Boiler
1 bag a day
Using for heat and hot water

About 6 bags so far - mostly cause I wanted to test this years Green Supreme (lousy and filthy) and a new to me pellet - Heat'rs - which are just fine in my stove.

Hot here this morning, but chilly a few nights/mornings over the past 2 weeks or so. I have all my pellets for the year in house and am a happy camper. Hell, I will likely top off the oil tank just for the hell of it as prices continue to drop. I still use oil for DHW.
