Last year Jan 28, 2017 I reported using 66 bags with 80 bags left.

This year Jan 23, 2018 I have used 61 bags with 90 bags left.

Tonight I will be doing my 2nd complete stove cleaning. with the removal of all 7 metal parts. Why tonight because its warm outside and I need to let the stove cool down completely so my shop vac with paper dust bag doesn't go up in flames.

I just put our 62nd bag in the hopper, and we have 18 left. I wanted to order three tons when we got the stove, but got overruled. It was a costly decision. Next burn season, I'll be better organized and get an order in early.

This year, I have been burning propane at $1.50 a gallon and only 3 bags of pellets. Last year I spent $2 per gallon of propane.

Just got a propane fill up today 1/31/2020. As of this date, I have spent $615 LESS this year compared to last years 70 bags of pellets and propane.

For 2019/2020 season, started with roughly 120 bags of mostly Hamers. This AM, I still have 93, but (A) shut down a week and a half ago for stove problems, (B) we usually burn only about 5 hours/night on weekday evenings, and 14 hours/day on weekend days.

Started the season with a ton and a half and only have 12 bags left. Thankfully it's been a rather mild winter here. Planning on getting another ton this week since everyone seems to have some in stock this year.

1. Stash - 6 Tons (300 Bags)
2. Started burning in October
3. Burned 2.5 Tons (125 Bags)
4. Stash count 3.5 Tons (175 Bags)

Very Cold Oct. Very Warm Dec and January. I have about 33 bags on the back porch ready for rest of Winter. Last year I got 5 Tons and had almost 1 Ton Left Over (50 bags). Will end up with almost 3 Tons I bet or little less than that. Worst case is 100 bags. 400 I don't have to spend next year.

I use Trane Heat Pump i X13. I use it when Temps at night stay 35f. Turn off Pellet stove if 35f or above. Today will burn all day I think ! Have done 2 Major Cleaning when it warmed up so I don't have to do it when I really need the Pellet Stove.

Using North Idaho Energy Logs. Made Locally. (Pellets).

I only store corn 1000 pounds at a time. Probably do not buy at the best price at that quantity. I do not care my electric bill is $200 less a month plus not buying firewood so it is a net savings I do burn about a 2200 pounds a month of corn. This is on average per month in North Central Minnesota.
