Based on prices for dry wood last week. IF you can find it... Green in the spring may be 200, but you can't burn that now..... price was for NH average.... now.Cordwood $325??? I've paid $175/cord for years.

Why is it that pellet prices vary by 100 per ton or more for the same product depending on location in New England?
This makes no sense.
Was going to buy 100 gallons Sunday when It was $1.99, thought what if it's $1.79 next week, price of crude is up to $53 a barrel, speculators are trying real hardI clicked and saw $2.199. Big increase in 2 days.![]()
$2.49 today
Hmm, I saw $2.19 today. Perhaps it is going by location of computer?
Well... we also don't live in the same town.....
The Office of Energy and Planning in the state is listing, as of March 30, "average" $2.76

A better question would be why is everything expensive in CT.
Oh, I should have been more clear - that price was according to the website that was posted (paylessforoil) - and what I thought you were referring to. I haven't seen any price lower than 2.89 in my town/area for years (and the computer I am using is in Manch, so quite a distance from my home town).
Comes down to what is going to be cheaper. I agree the recent price swings make it a bit risky, but i dont see oil prices going so high in the near future that pellets make more sense unless you can find them for $250ish/ton. I will most likely take my chances. I have a little over a ton that i didnt use this past season so i wont be totally caught with my pants down if oil shoots back up, but again i dont see oil shooting back up anytime soon.I feel like depending on the price of oil and what to anticipate for your heating bill is idiotic compared to burning pellets.
Prices for pellets may vary 10-20 percent depending on when you buy them through out the year. Oil has literally swung 50% in a matter of months, numerous times in the last 6-7 years.
If she had zones, she wouldn't have to heat the whole house with oil either!Hello
One of my customer's said even if the cost of oil is the same as pellets that pellets are cheaper for her. She only heats the living room and kitchen with a very efficient Quad Santa Fe not the whole entire house with oil!
