    3 years ago when I installed the stove, I had a half tank of oil (275 gal tank) and burned a quarter tank in that time.

    I decided to purchase their minimum which is 150 gal, but luckily I was their last stop, so they gave me 118 gal.

    My tank is 3/4 full now, so I expect it to last us another 6 years. Pretty damm good, and its insurance if I get hurt or anything. :thumbs:

    Thats good thinking, lets hope nobody gets hurt. I think the same way, my gas fired burner is my backup. I can't complain for fuel bills around $30/mo for hot water.

    Prudent to have a back up plan.
    Hope it never needs used. ;)
