I went this route for initially one reason- the local propane provider would not honor a contract and over the last 12 years the household has only used 60 gallons of propane over that timeframe.
I averaged 700 gallons a season prior to the switch so over the years the savings is equivalent to approximately 10000 gallons of propane not purchased.
There are certainly other reasons realized after the purchase. I like the warmer temperatures in the house. The time in the woods gathering firewood. The exercise gathering wood has purpose and is a productive use of working out and find it unnecessary to front the cost of a gym membership and I also can safely get my pyro kicks.
