Same here, weather and low HHO cost.
Maybe 4 or 5 bags for me just playin around.

Well that is what happens when you pay a premium for your pellets. HHO is a bit cheaper so you no get to burny pellets, solution buy cheaper pellets.
I really bought mine too early ( Aug.), after tax I paid $272.00/ton but you just never know so I don't spend time second guessing my decision... I also looked at the forecast for my area, and looks like Thursday night will be the first of four nights to burn
I'm sure in two or three months I'll be ready for the warm weather to return

Swalz, was the repair something you mentioned on the forum? What happened? 2 months is a LONG time to get something repaired, IMO.

No, that's not it. I only needed/bought 25 bags this year (at a good price), and was given 17 bags. I added that to my "HHO spike stash". For me, not only does the heat with pellets need to be cheaper or comparable to HHO, but I usually prefer the cost of burning with pellets to be beneficial enough to overcome the convenience of HHO and added labor of pellets. I will be "burny pellets" soon I'm sure. :lol:

Yeah, yup, right ... are ye a Mainer or are ye from away. If ye be a Mainer you will just lug the pellets and thereby keep the brew belly in check.
The last purchase of home heating oil I made came out to be $20/ton more expensive than the pellets I bought. I don't expect HHO to get much if any cheaper. I also wonder what all of those fine places that have many many tons of pellets are going to do, they don't seem to be flying off the lots.
I'll likely go looking for an alternative means of heating water.
At least my little oil boiler sips oil.
Only gone thru about 20 bags so far this season.
Weather is still too mild so have been running the furnace most days as needed.
It is more cost effective for me to burn NG instead of pellets right now.
Been running the XXV for a few hours here and there, but the Advance has been sitting
idle since it was installed earlier this year.

Been in shop for about 3 to 4 weeks, waiting on parts from Harman, needs the Feeder Weldment replaced and after tech started job found that I needed a burn pot also. Burn pot came in a week ago so I am hoping that it will be back soon. Most of the issue was fighting with Harman to cover more than $55, the place I bought it from no longer sells or will service Harman leaving me a stove needing a repair while I fought with Harman to cover more then the $55. They are covering $450 and I hope I am not charged more than that, there are no Harman dealers around me that have service techs and they use other service companies to do the work.
Over 700 people have looked at this post and only 68 votes .Whats up with that ? We get more participation in our municipal elections .

Get better answers here than municipal elections anyway.
hmmmm, we may need to stack the voting and allow multiple votes. Then again, we might have to check for hanging chads
swalz said:
Sorry to hear about all that....in plain English, that sucks! Hope you get it all done & back, and that Harman is a "stand-up" company.
All I hear is about is how Harman is the be all, end all of pellet stoves.....I'm interested in seeing how they handle your situation.
Keep us informed.

Voting on here probably does as much good ,or more .
Need more selections for the votes... I'm only on my 4th bag tonight. Didn't install until about a week and a half ago, then was gone for the holiday, so pellets are not going fast. It's gotten cold here the last couple of days, though, so it will start going faster.

Hey, great site here with good info. I've only burned about 5 bags of pellets so far. Was a very warm November for South Dakota. Temps set to plunge starting today, stove will be running for a while now.
