"currently about $350 for a pallet of bags that will keep a home this size heated all winter"

Does this guy live in a dog house? I hope he is just confused and the dealer isn't telling him this.

Ahhh. She, fiction writer, now I get it.

Heard a story like this from an ex girlfriend once.

Just not a very good writer/researcher I guess. Says she has a 1000 sq ft house and a pallet of pellets to heat was $350 (giving the benefit of the doubt and it was a 1.4 ton pallet which some brands like Michigan Wood Pellets prefer - it's still a stretch to heat on just that much). However, she later also says it's 350-500 to heat her house this winter. Only a couple of paragraphs from the 350 claim.

Claims to have found a stove for $1100 but then goes on about all the places without stoves and no mention of how she found hers in those market conditions.

Not an intellectually rigorous article at all.
