94 bags of Satisfaction pellets as of Jan 31, 220 gals. (approx.) of diesel: with Betsy's early work hrs. / schedule, and my working from home.. we've been keeping the temps. in the house a little warmer this season. Tiny Francesca stove is still plugging along, but showing it's age. ... Might be time for a replacement stove, at the end of this season.
Just finished off 2nd ton of 50/50 mix of hardwoods and Virginia Goldens now on to the AWF white pines
Just polished off my third ton of green supremes, starting in on wood and sons. I like my main room at 80, and the pellet stove is all I'm using for heat, so I don't think that's awful. Could do better, if this blasted house had any kind of insulation.
Mine has barely any insulation so its pretty much 4 tons a season. Have oil fired furnace for heat but only use for hot water or if temps go into single digits so pipes dont freeze.
Filled th stoves for the day and have used 49 bags for the month of February (most I've used for a month this year). So far this heating season I've used a total 187 bags. Until this month I was on track to use the least amount of pellets since I started burning. That got shot down this month, but still in the running for 2nd lowest.
34 bags used for March, with 220 used for the season so far. The first half of March was cold, cloudy and windy so I thought for sure I would use as much as usual (right around a ton; 44-52 bags is the range for the last four years). But have had lots of sun and some really nice days the last 2 weeks so no I am just barely below my lowest use winter. April is the month that is unpredictable - I've used as little as 7 bags and as much as 28 in previous years with the average being 21.
Ordered three tons. Went through about 2.5+ thus far. Oddly, seems I went through less despite working from home for the entire heating season.
18 bags in Feb., 16 bags in March = 128 as of 3/31/21, 85 gals. in Feb., 14 gals. in March = 319 gals. for Dino-Burner (off-road diesel) so far this season.
Too Many as usual 6 Skids of LaCrete and three tons of MWP and still burning .... Finished the 2+ year job from hell and have done 4 since then so not much work on the house . Not what I would consider a good year most importantly lost my Mother to Cancer and to be Blunt it was horrible but the only salvation is that she suffers no more. Miss my friends here and hope to be back more often but still very busy taking care of my Father whom lost his life long partner along with work . Bought a few pellet grills and fly my drone when possible to chill then and making videos . Hope all are well after checking around see that JT is in a fight and JT I wish you well and will add you to our prayers .
