Thats insane. It's not even cold down there yet. Isn't it cheaper to run the heat pump?
It may very well be, but we like the heat and got a very good deal on pellets this year. I also have a large house to heat, so we are letting the heat pump and furnace lay low and let the stove do all the work. About half a ton is normal for us in October, then we go to 50-60 bags per month for the cold months. My yearly usage is 5-6 tons.

About 6 bags for the month. Stove ran on lowest setting part time to keep temp up so the wife is happy.
