ashful...you need 2600 gallons of oil per heating season? You're in the mid-atlantic, so I thought it would be generally milder than the NE. That seems like an enormous amount of energy..how many sq ft are you heating? Considering about 3 months of cold weather and a couple shoulder seasons, you'd have to be getting >500 gallons/month delivered. Wow. I'm in a tiny house in the NE and used about 500 gallons total last yr, so I'm trying to calibrate this. Glad the wood saved you a little. Thanks.
