<> How much do you burn daily/weekly to warm your house? Are wood pellets something you have to buy or are these just some kind of wood chip? Thanks

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.
