    Some guys here admit to being pellet fondlers, but i have a chart next to my stack to kinda keep track of what i'm burning. Call it my OCD

    last year Oct/Nov i burned 33 bags. this year to date 16. with 10 days left there's no way i'd use more than another 8, given the weather.

    That's good as i still have some outside work to finish up like a couple cords to add to the woodshed, but it must have been cold last year.:stacke::axe::saw:

    I don't know exactly how many I burned by this time last year but I know it's more than this year since I haven't burned a full bag yet, Tonight will be my first full burn.

    I'm at 14 so far this month but I also burned 17 in October. My father in law is here and I have to keep the temp up for him, so my pellet and beer consumption has increased. I burned 40 last year through the end of November so I'll be less that that.

    I burned more last Oct, but Nov looks like it will be less. So I am on about the same pace.

    Have no idea but I have a feeling I have burned more so far this year. The downstairs wall that is between the basement and garage had sheetrock last year (it was chitty, and moldy, but it was there). I tore it out in the July and just got new sheet rock up Thursday. The downstairs stove shouldn't run as much as it for the last couple of months to maintain the temp.

    Oh yeah, and I didn't have a second stove last year until mid November so I was using propane to help keep the bedrooms warm when I was home (the heat from the P61a just couldn't be persuaded to go in there no matter what I did).

    Last season I was at 23 bags to this point. Did my count this morning and I'm only at 16 after dumping this months bag #8 in.
