Just had a delivery of fuel oil to my house on the 2nd. Last fill was in Sept , we used total of 61 gallons of oil so far this season. The pellet stove seems to be paying for itself. I guessed at the amount in December as the gage was at 3/4 ...
I locked in during the summer for 2.799 ... the average price is now over 3$ a gallon.My neighbor paid 3.339 just last week 210 gallons
that had to hurt.

I voted "corn" on the poll.. we have a Corn stove in the parlor that will heat the entire house rather effortlessly (2200sq ft) Runs just about a bushel a day to operate unless VERY cold. It also will do pellets...I have done this in the past a few times when we ran out of corn....works well enough.
We also have a antique 1960's nat gas fired central heating system...works well enough and it's a great back up, but this spring it will be removed (I dislike Natural gas explosions call me paranoid but it's gone this spring)
Next spring I am planning to install a corn boiler to heat both the shop and the house...corn is a little more expensive than wood.....although BOTH would be even better...I like redundancy.
