I just found 2.5 on another website... I will adjust. I made a mistake and thought the bags were 50 lbs each and not 40.
How many bags are you torching this week?

I updated my spread sheet.. Over all saving did not change because it was calculated using the correct conversion.. what did change was the equivalent oil used per month.

Only 17 bags burned since october? Guess you are mainly heating with wood and only supplementing with the pellets
I had to edit my previous post... I have burned 37 bags since October. I am heating a 400 sq ft wing of my ranch. Main 1500 ft is heated by a wood insert. I just received my last oil bill and it appears that these are pretty good estimates although it is hard to compare because we know keep the room much warmer than we did when we heated it with oil... my guess is an average of 4 degrees warmer.

That is the problem with trying to compare the wood pellets to oil. before i had the stove i kept the t stat at 66 (cold) and now the house is in the 70's big difference. The oil consumption would go up alot if i was to heat the house in the 70,s with oil

You can ask my wife she was always cold covered in blankets and yesterday she told me to turn the stove down it was like a SAUNA in here lol
I've been running in manual, heat level 5 (the highest), program 1 (the lowest of 4), just about 11 hours/ bag, straight MWP softwood

The you better not touch refers to me
if you showed up at my house I'd give all the Shock Top in the fridge which is only a 6 pack + or -. which only a snack
I could back you up with Busch Lite have double digits of those.

Busch Light will do! It is a lot less popular here in Idaho than it was in Ohio. One thing I miss since I have moved is Genesee Cream Ale. Haven't seen it once since I moved from Ohio!The you better not touch refers to me

This pic brings a tear to my eye!Wow Idaho never been that far west. Genny Cream grew up on that
When I flew to visit a friend in California, I used to take a case of Genny Cream as my 2nd checked bag. It wouldn't be worth the bag fees these days.Wow Idaho never been that far west. Genny Cream grew up on that

I appreciate it! My first beer ever was a genny cream ale. Stole it from dads cooler and drank it with the neighbor boy in the tree house. Hooked ever since lol. We have Black Star out here. Little more hoppy but similar.I hadn't any Genny Cream for many years then a buddy of mine picked up a 30 pack a trip down memory lane a saved a can empty of coarse

One btu is the amount of energy required to raise one pound of water by one degree.
I hear ya,.. Im sitting on 41/2 tons of Sets,.... and find myself picking up 10-15 bags of Chow locally just to keep myself from digging into the sets,... . the satisfaction of knowing we have the best stash,.. the uncertainty of getting more,.. a form of hoarding,.. a sickness,..a dark side,.. wait... I'll be right back
Geezzz... I plan to run out to HD tomorrow and grab 25 bags of Chow, so I don't dip into the Somersets! Like minds! Yeah, just don't know if I will ever see the "Sets" in my neck of the woods again.... You hit that right on the head!
