I see that in Southeastern NH, that Home Depot is selling wood pellets for $300/ton. And heating oil is about $3.00/gallon. The prices are almost equal which makes an interesting decision of whether to burn 50/50 next winter. I have not seen a lot of Spring buys on wood pellets. It looks like the price of heating oil is dropping somewhat, perhaps even faster.
OPEC is pumping at record levels right now, so heating oil dropping makes sense. I was surprised by the average price on the NH.gov site for HHO as I know that even around here it is just under $3.00/gal. That price is a guy that does not have tanks for storage, just picks it up somewhere and delivers - I don't know what the price is for local companies that carry inventory here are charging)
Orson_Yancey I use similar as above just realize that they always overpriced on HHO which is the same as off road diesel, Ultra low sulfur. Here HHO IS 2,89 with big discount for large drops
Locally it's about $2.50/gallon and $330/ton for pellets. More for pellet house brands($380+). Probably purchase roughly half the needs between pellets and oil.
I'm pretty sure we're done with our firewood stove for the season. I'd like to bring down the oil level in our tank. To able to refill it with low cost oil. It's been 5-6yrs since we took a delivery. Hoping HHO drops lower.
I keep track of HHO prices here: New England Heating Oil Prices It's as current as the retailers maintain it. HHO prices were down to $2.50 6 to 8 weeks ago and then Saudi Arabia announced they were going to start pumping a lot more (sometimes they actually do and sometimes it is just talk) and then things heated up in the mideast which drove local prices to above 3 bucks. Prices are coming back down again. I like this site for crude trends and news: Crude Oil Prices Today | OilPrice.com you can also find HHO wholesale prices there. The wholesale price may be at the end of the pipe in NJ/NY. I'm not sure. It['s not what your local retailer is paying.
