I have gone through 2 tons of Green Supremes since the beginning of October. It heats my whole 1600 sq. ft house. This is my first stove. I went with the M55cast FS. Has anyone gone through as much as me?

Salty said:Well into my second ton. We been burning for quite a while though. I'm burning straight Oakies right now.
Definitely recommend checking your insulation. I didn't know it but I had r11 wall insulation in the attic and some very poorly done blown in cotton which had sunk and failed. I contacted mass save and they sent a guy out for the free energy audit. WELL worth it. Not only do you get like $500 worth of cfl, but they came in and air sealed my attic for free, then put propa vents in the eaves and 6" of blown cellulose for $350
I'm able to keep the house nice now with stove on 4 compared to before the oil would be turning on and stove was on 5 maxed out.
Guy also told me how to look for air leaks in my windows. I had one window in particular that was very cold. I pulled the molding and found 8 air leaks on one window. Look for black insulation inside the window cavity. Best thing to do is foam it with the non expanding closed cell window/door foam.
I think we'll see a pretty big difference in our use of pellets from here on. Have put the stove on 5 just in the mornings for a few days now. Those Oakies burn so hot I'm afraid I'm going to melt the inside of the stove. On 5 it's like standing next to the sun that thing gets so hot.
masssave.com I think is the website. It's paid for by the green energy charges on your utility bill ie National Grid etc. It's administered by a company called Next Step Living. They approached me about a PPA solar agreement at no cost, I agreed and am getting a free solar system, no up front costs, 20 year lease 6800 kwh and the price is .05 cheaper than I'm paying for my current electric bill. No yearly escalator. It's a sweet deal which if anyone is interested shoot me an email I can give you a coupon for them.
I thought I was pretty good with home maintenance. Then when I talked to these guys I realized how much more I could save. Anything to get rid of this $@$@!! oil bill!

Wow, not nearly that much!! Maybe 30-40 bags tops since the middle of October!
