Actually my dad uses an outdoor wood furnace. Shit loads cheaper than oil and it heats the whole house inlcuding hot water. The only thing my dad pays for is electricity. He gets most of his wood from our property which is 175 acres but when he’s lazy he will order it in huge numbers and it will last a whole year for the price of oil that would only last half a winter. ---

I like wood, but I will make more working the job I do, than I will splitting wood… So, I’ll have to keep the grid alive myself. A friend of mine runs a chimney company and business has never been better. So , not all businesses crash in a slow economy! ---

> [@Pants Party](#): > > I heard on CNN it could go down to as much as $50/barrel before next year. Shit gas would be cheap for a little while anyway, when you compare it to what it was. :nod watched that as well as on FOX23 news. I think it will stay like this for a while. Gas was $3.10 in guildrland yesterday and hope it gets lower ;D ---

> [@mcflurry](#): > > yea if u have heatin oil best bet is to switch to propane its cheaper or just switch over out of havin to get it filled all together don’t be dumb, propane is less efficient to burn than oil, you get less BTU’s per unit. Also it is a bi-product of oil production, so as oil prices rise propane goes up as well. You’re not doing yourself any favors with propane. > [@plaf713](#): > > my buddy heats his house with oil, the quoted him 3400 dollars to heat his house this winter, my jaw dropped when i heard that I was looking at $5500 in oil for the year. Un-Fucking-Acceptable. > [@plaf713](#): > > the was going to switch but its about 10g’s to do it Yes it is expensive. But my fuel for the whole year is $1500 when I was looking at $5500. It’ll pay for itself in 2 years. I’ll take those numbers anyday. > [@plaf713](#): > > they work well, but you have to keep an eye on it, have it at camp. It does not heat the whole camp Yea this isn’t a pellet stove. It’s a pellet boiler. 130,000 BTUs. Heats the hot water baseboard / radiator the same as my oil unit would. Probably much better. You can do DHW with it but i chose a tankless electric hot water heater instead. Check my other thread. Anyway the boiler isn’t constant burn and has electronic ignition… only comes on when the temp in the boiler drops below a set #. Same as an oil furnace in that respect. You do have to fill the hopper. It has a 200lb capacity which is equal to 4 or 5 bags of pellets depending on the size of the bag. You also have to clean it out every couple of months and dispose of the ash. The ash bin is big enough to not need to be emptied for 2-3 tons of burned pellets. I will post pics etc when it gets here and is installed and working. ---
