15 bags 2 days ago, now have 57... Think I'm safe. Also liking the GT Platinums from Lowes.
 
40 bags left, only burned a liitle over a ton all winter so I'm good to go.
 
67 bags left. 15 more bags and I'll have gone thru 5 tons this winter.
Chuck:cool:
 
There are 4 bags in the back entry. Luckily our pellet supplier is 20mins down the road, and since we prefer the softwood pellets he sells, he has lots of stock. His hardwood supply is getting tight. Right now I'm burning hardwood, because we have it, but it requires a lot more maintenance on the stove. The budget is dictating only 15 bags purchased this week, but that gets us through to when the budget will give me a bit more play and I can get another 20 bags, which should get us most of the way through April and into May. Since we've only had the stove just over a month, we're still learning what works and what doesn't. I am hoping we can put 4 ton in the basement this fall. With the softwood, even on the really really cold days, we were around 1 bag/day, so that should cover us for the majority of next winter.
 
46 bags to go....I'm gonna make it. 4 1/2 tons...the most I ever burned in 18 years.
 
i've burned 232 bags so far. that's just about what i burned all of last year.
i've got 178 bags left.
i laid in the whole supply last spring. (had a couple tons surplus to start w/)
if this is the last gasp of zero degree nights, i think i'll make it through burning less than a ton more than last season.
i'm pleased w/ that figure.

burned zero drops of oil.
local stove shop has tons and tons of pellets on hand.

I can't say that. My stove is upstairs so we keep the downstairs heat on just enough to keep the pipes from freezing. We also use oil for hot water. We've used 1/2 tank since our last fill in October.
 
I was down to about 6 bags last week but my dealer got me another ton of Okanagans and now I'm good to finish out the season with some left over....
 
70 bags left this morning...should last me to the long weekend in May when I usually shut down for the last cleaning...I'll get 5 tons again for next year!
 
22 bags remaining at this writing....think I'm gonna make it just fine
as we are starting today sliding into 40/50 degree days. Will begin
stocking for next Fall around May/June.
 
45 left as of this morning.
 
I have about 20 bags left.

I bought a ton more than I usually do, plus had about 1/3 of a ton left over from the previous season. never thought I would burn 4.5 tons when my usual burn is 3.2-3.4
