I really don't know anymore...Well, aren't you not saving on pellets then either, heat from the pellet stove escapes too.
I stopped calculating what It costs for oil vrs pellets couple yrs ago when we got a pellet stove and knew we wouldn't go back to using an oil funace exclusivly..
might be more for pellets this year than oil..I do know the difference isn't outrageous either way..
burned 4 tons last winter at around 1,000 dollars vrs 4 oil drops per season that we would have to get. Plus close to 200.00 per year to have the oil furnace professionally cleaned/serviced.
pretty thrifty here anyways,, don't eat out a lot, don't have car payments, don't buy exspensive designer coffees 5 days a week so always extra money for pellets plus we just like the fire every day and I don't mind cleaning the stove regularly which I have found out that
when u spend a little more for the really good pellets, the cleaning is lot less often.
I do it half as many times per season now that we use better grades.
