Reply to comment by Vtfla in who recently got a heating oil bill? by lottabigbluewater

A little exaggerated. I have my stovepipe professionally cleaned every other year and burn DRY wood. Shovel ashes weekly. Stove runs in morning for a few hours and evenings + most of the night. Yeah stacking and hauling is a little PITA, but if you break both jobs up, it’s doable. Heck of an inexpensive way to heat a house.

Last time I noticed, dry wood was running around $300 a cord. Our beast used 6 cord before we sent it down the road. That’s not exactly cheap. Pellets run about the same for way less work, and gramma doesn’t have to chase spiders all over the parlor. 😉
