Wood pellets are made from pelletizing the sawdust in a sawmill. It looks like rabbit food. They cost about $200 a ton (50 - 40 lb. bags) and we burn 80 pounds a day to heat a 4,000 sq foot house.
When you do the math, that works out to about 4 tons of pellets for the whole winter or $800. Our next door neighbor with a house similar to ours spent $700 on natural gas last month.

Yeah, but how much mess is the ash? That's the reason I got a gas log firelace instead of a "real" one. Just flick a switch and instant fire.

Is your furnace in your house or, as I've seen on the internet, in an outdoor furnace house? How is the heat circulated through your home?
