If I wasn't getting wood free I would be burning oil. I know at least one guy at work who isn't buying pellets this year because of low oil prices.
 
The site just had a temporary hiccup. Was down for many of us for about 10 minutes. Seems to be good now.

At first I was concerned it was my end because I had a server slow down a while ago, did a reload etc etc. For a while I couldn't get on the site ( I run through Firefox and Yahoo). But then when the phone didn't pick it up either I posted my query.

Usually if you don't get the box to post in it is a problem with Java on your machine. Outdated version of whatever. The text editor is a Java plug in application in the forum software.

Good to know, since the machine I'm on is an old XP machine I don't keep it too updated and it might be the next to mess up.. My laptop is a Windows 7 machine , that is up to day. It will replace this one some day. I figured in the big "XP is going to crash" scare I might as well see how long it lasts. Still going ! My Daughter In Law, Masters in Psychology and going for her Doctorate just shakes her head. Hey it's good for her !!

Even at present prices ($2.65 / gal) and using oil for my bedrooms and hot water I'm saving!$300 a year using pellets. When I impliment my new hot water system I'll doue that at least. And as has been stated you can't beat the ambiance.

The pellet stove keeps the area it's in in the low to mid 70s. Oil would have to get really cheap for me to heat the house in that temp range.

Sorry, I don't have a subscription to Baron's yet I can view it using that link on my cell phone.... ? In a nut shell, Baron's is predicting $35 a barrel oil and then price will slowly raise to $60. Lets see what this does to pellet prices.

Or the pellet stove industry. They still make some very nice oil fired heaters with a good flame. Hmm, I have a 1200 gallon tank not used. About three years supply?
 
up here in Maine oil down to $2.49/gal..wow...
