Just bought 2 metric tons of pellets yesterday. Gotten a little expensive this year. Cost was 235 bucks a metric. 198 for a US ton. Told them I would be back for another M/ton next week. That should run me for the winter for both the house and the garage.. I only burn it out there when I'm workin(reloading) out there. I have an electric water heater out there that I keep set on 42 degrees. It heats the floor so the cars ain't cold. An when it is 30 below..the vehicles are much more comfortable to get into and start. Truck is a diesel as is the VW Jetta. It actually costs less to run the heat in the floor than it does to plug the 2 vehicles in. Fabs...there is another type of furnace for heating a house with wood. Outdoor furnace that you can fill with wood and burns up to 3 days(specially in Md) and you don't have to split the wood so small or store it inside. Heck a friend had one he burned a piano in..less the works of course. He burned green wood and dry wood...old railroad ties...everything. The green wood did smoke a bit though. He even heated his domestic water with it all year. He has used that furnace for nigh on to 18 yrs now. I was gonna put one in in Md before I moved..may still do it here in Wy. A permit for cuttin wood in the Nat Forest is 28 bucks for about 5 cords. All dead trees too..even if it is pine for the most part. An I got nuff Russian olive to last for 10 yrs for my wood heat. Just nasty to cut. Got thorns 4 inches long.
