by popular demand, a thread on how many bags burned for 2016-2017 season. 28 bags for me in Oct and November. about 2400 sq feet 2 story built in 1999 (by me, so i insulated it properly) stove is a Harmon 52I in the LR. 100 percent pellet burner unless I need to dino monster for extreme cold or vacation
25 here Art. 100% pellet heating 1900+ sqft. Stoves in my sig and I cheat a bit to get heat up from the basement. November(18) = 25 GS 5 NO 13 October(7) GS 4 NO 3 Edit: Suppose I should add we keep the house at 72ºF and warmer if the Mrs. feels a chill. Its not uncommon to have the stat over ridden to 74ºF on the dreary days.
I believe about 38 so far YTD. We keep the house at 74 but it's setback during the day, during the week.
57 so far this year - well actually more but I haven't filled up the hoppers since I counted Tuesday night, so that is my # and I'm sticking to it. do have to check hoppers tonight though. Temp set at 68 on main floor (950 sq/ft) and 70-72 downstairs (650 sq/ft) so the excess from the larger stove can bleed upstairs. If I remember correctly, I burned 27 bags by the end of October.
Well,I started saving all the empty bags,for this reason,but forgot and have been using them in the trash can for burnables ,but did write down my total,so will try to remember and go downstairs and count!Sorry
35 bags , 2 stoves , house kept at 72 stoves run in constant burn mode distribution blower on low . Well insulated 2 story approx 1800 sq. ft.
This season, which begins here the end of September.....Bag 20 in house, bag 6 in the loft. House is just under 800 sq ft and the loft is 450. Both well insulated but live in the woods and behind a large pond, so we have a lot of dampnafication..... 100% of our heat via wood pellets. Average temp is whatever the Freak we want it to be! Burn Baby Burn
If this winter is like last winter, the pellets I have should last thru two winters. If this winter is like the winter of 2014/2015 - then I'll most likely have to get at least a couple of tons to make it thru next winter. Hmm, I need to update my sig with the current stockpile.
Put me down for: I don't know. I've had the stove off and on depending on the day/forecast... I should have counted how many I had to start... but I didn't. Dan
How do you keep track of seasons usage so you know how much is needed next season? Granted you have better access to them than many of us, But even so I'd just gotta know how much I'll need come next season. Our average usage is 175 bags and the worser case(max) was 204. So I'm pretty confident that if I keep at least 200 in by October 1st. We'll make the whole season. Granted I do add some come April as that is the beginning if hoard stuffin. Usually best deals happen around about then.
I must be in the minority here. Either that or I'm not as anal as you guys. I don't count bags, never have, and don't plan to start!!
