oil truck came today....only 79 gallons! Woo-hoo!
I figure my new Jotul saved at least 100 gallons so far this season, considering I only turned on the oil heat full time about 5 days ago. The Rockland has been able to keep my 2600sf house at moderate temps through the Fall by itself for the most part, and my strategy for now through the winter will be to supplement the oil furnace and try to burn through 3 cords or so through the year (out of my 5).
The falling oil prices have helped the budget greatly, but the wife is already getting spoiled by the direct heat from the Jotul!
