Ok s let's say it takes 1 hour per month to clean my stove with white lightening. Let's say I value my personal time at $50 per our. Lets assume the chows make it so I have to double the clean up time.

How many BTUs do the cows have to put out before they become economical vs. the white lightning? I got my wife on it right now. Award to the winner...

Cows put out lots a btu's if you can get em lit! Dis guy spells like me I wikes em! ::-)

Now we are comparing methane to pellets? ;lol
 
Sorry. I pick on one of those a week. It was your week.
 
Ok I'll do it. 7714 btus for the chow to be Economical with extra cleaning. Probably close to their output!
 

Hard to like Stove Chow when Somerset's, Lignetics and Cheat River are the same price...actually $188 a ton w/ my 10% military discount.

Not by me! When I get to Stillwater this winter maybe I will grab me some! I havent seen sets anywhere near me.

Also, ligs here are $7 per bag. Insane.
 
Chow's or FSU's?, running low on FSU, HD has both near me
 
Ok so after a good week of running, chows are doing the same as dry creeks. And much cheaper. So I will go grab another ton when I get the room, and I'm good.
