What is the annual cost of heating with a pelletstove?
My typical Willamette Valley (Oregon) customers consume 2 to 2 and a half tons of pellets a year using their stoves as a sole source of heat. At $200 per ton that works out to be $400.00 to $500.00 dollars annually. Interestingly, on low, where most stoves are run most of the time, pellet consumption is equal between almost all stove brands because 1 to 1 and a half pounds per hour are required to keep the stove operational. The greater consumption differences are found when running the stoves on high.
