2 days till Dec. 1

[THE ROOSTER]

And I have yet to burn my first bag of pellets... Looks like this Thursday night might just be the first real fire of the season. What I wonder is, how many have you burned and is it weather or price keeping you from burning the number of bags you normally would...

 

[mnkywrnch]

I've burnt about 25 bags give or take a couple,mainly overnite.

 

[krooser]

I have used 33 bags as of today...started around October 15th.. but we've had lots of mild weather here.

 

[pelletizer]

15 here in NH plus some oil,

 

[jtakeman]

28 for me. With 14 stove cleanings taboot!

Edit: Weather is holding me back some! But I'm ok with it, Anyway to save money these days.

 

[THE ROOSTER]

I went to our local Tractor Supply store, and they have plenty of pellets @ #5.99/bag... I love to watch a fire burn but at the price for them this year I really like not having to...

 

[gutterboy2ca]

[opus74]

Only on the 4th bag so far. Only been below 30 one night.

A bag is lasting about 32 hours right now.

 

[Flammam]

20 bags as of today. Hasn't been too cold here yet, but my house is as drafty as a witches skirt.

 

[Marbleguy]

Something around 27 bags so far. I keep the stove on t-stat 24/7 and it runs when it is called to. Reason, if Momma ain't happy, ain't no one happy. Momma is happy when the house is around 70 °F .

 

[ablejoy]

22 bags since Oct 5th dump pot and ash once a day, complete cleaning once a week. House is toasty.

 

[gbreda]

30 bags so far here.

 

[Hot Section]

Just opened my third bag. Has been very warm on Cape Cod so far.

 

[Fish On]

only 8 for me, and a little oil.... But they brought me 60 gal the other day still on automatic, can't wait until they come back and there is nothing to fill. that will make me smile!

 

[arcticcat1]

35 bags since sept.20th

 

[rottiman]

will break the 100 bag mark tomorrow. 1 st year experiment is proving quite costly. Normally got thru the whole winter on 5 cords of wood. This looks like it's going to prove a bust..................................

 

[goatman-68]

On my 4th bag as we speak.

 

[Gweeper64]

Haven't kept close track. Somewhere around 40 bags since Oct 15.

 

[Baston8005]

Bought 5 different (20 bags) brands of pellets in late sept from BT in Bristol. Found Spruce pellets, Dry Creek, and Omalleys to burn quite well. In late Oct, I bought 8 bags of Lg Granules( very good pellets). Yesterday I bought 8 more bags of LG. This Friday, I'll be heading up to Moson Ma to get in on the 1.3 ton of Okangans?.... Keeping the house at 75 or so....

 

[ChandlerR]

11 bags so far. We usually let the stove go out at night, then fire it up in the morning. That will change this week it seems.

[imacman]

Including all the one's I've bought to do test burns, I think I've burned about 20 or 21 bags. Mainly just to keep the house at a nice 70 degrees and not have the oil monster start-up too often.

I'm kinda split on the pellets/HHO right now, as the cost per BTU for what I have of both is about the same. Been watching the cost of crude, and if it keeps going, I'll be burning oil soon.....save the pellets for "ambiance"....we'll see.

 

[Xena]

Only about 15 bags total so far this season. Been too warm here to run this beast.
Has to stay consistently cold out to run the stove otherwise I get cooked out of here.

 

[Excell]

I have burned six bags so far .

 

[CanadaClinker]
