Oil vs. Pellets

ishoot308 · 10-18-2017, 08:04 AM

With the cost of home heating oil hovering around $2.00 per gallon and the price of wood pellets still around $250.00 per ton right now in the Lakes Region, it appears oil will be cheaper again this winter to heat your home per BTU than wood pellets.

Why hasn't the price of pellets come down??

Other than the ambiance of the pellet stove, is there any other reason I should even consider burning pellets this winter for heat?? Seems like it would just be throwing dollar bills in the stove...

Thoughts from you pellet burners???.....
