My dad replaces the wood stove with a pellet stove. He gets around 5000 pounds of pellets dropped in 40 pound bags next to the garage. Covers the pallet with a tarp and grabs a bag when
Ever he is walking by. Has my nephew restock 5/6 bags weekly for him. It’s pretty reasonable. I think the 5000 pounds costs him 750-800 bucks.
