To date, Ive burned just shy of 1.5 tons. I have 5 tons left.

I think Im set.
thought my consumption was the same ,1.5 tons, but remembered that I started in October with 21 bags of Stove chows left over from last winter.
so, just about 2 tons here.
 
I am at 95 burned and 95 left as of today. Thing is I burned low output crap pellets and still have 15 bags left then it is somersets to the end and I can dial back so much with those pellets I think I will have some left over !!
 
I'm running a pellet stove in the back of the house and a wood stove on the front. The pellet is a us stove 5502m.

That runs on heat range 1, 24x7. Just putting out enough heat so the laundry and kitchen don't freeze.

On 1, I'm 27 bags into my first ton, but got a late start, week before Christmas. Still, that's 27 bags in about a month, with 6 to 8 weeks remaining. I have about 1.5 ton remaining. Probably make it...
 
On bag #96. This is my first year heating the house with our 52i. It is heating the entire house and we haven't turned on the thermostats once. I can't believe it. Two tons
of DF's left to burn. I was thinking of maybe saving them until next year seeing how oil is so cheap right now. The problem is that I am hooked on the stove now because I would never turn the thermostat up to 78 in the family room. Man it feels real nice in there taking a few

My leftovers from last year are included in my figure.
 
Bought 3 tons of Cubex, 1 gone for 2 stoves, I am in great shape!
 
According to my pellet gauge we have precisely 4 tons of winter left. I'll be bringing one of those indoors today.
 
I guess I did not pay much attention until I read this thread.

After trying several brands as a first year pellet burner settled on Heatr's and Platinum. Put pen to paper and based on BTU's consumed in the past (used a 3 year average) bought what I thought would zero out by Memorial Day. 58 million BTU I estimated to be 4 ton. Have 99 bags left so I believe I will make it. If not I will pick up as I go because I need the storage shed for a spring project.

Reminds me ..... Need to take the vent down this today and deep clean the system.
