Ran some quick figures on the fuel comparison calculator. Any way you put it. Figuring it with your price for oil, $1.69, heating with wood is still only about half the price of oil, buying split stacked dry cord wood at $60/cord, which comes to $150/face cord. Wood ends up costing $9.70 per million BTUs and oil ends up costing $17.41 per million BTUs.


The bottom line. Let prices do what they want, WOOD HEAT IS GOOD HEAT!!!

I filled my oil tank here in Mass the day I lit my OWB off a couple weeks back . $1.36 was the price that day. I dont plan on looking at the oil tank again until late spring when I will prob let the oil boiler heat my DHW for the summer. I dont care how cheap oil is I hate hearing that oil burner running. I like cutting wood and tucking it to the oil companies too! :thumbup:

Can’t really get firewood for $60/cord here, moist of the time even at the auctions a well stacked load of wood in a short bed PU goes for $60-$80 a load.

I’ve seen green cords advertised for $125/150 before in the paper.

The 'loonie" is the nickname given to our $1 coin because it has a picture of a loon on it - but may soon be replaced with a picture of the new Prime Minister. No nickname change is planned. :bag:

Ah…..

I get to deal with metal coins as well when we visit her family in England. If your not careful you can end up with 5 pounds of change in your pocket.

£2 and £1 coins then 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, and 1 pence coins can weigh a guy down in a hurry. I’m usually pretty proud of myself when I can deal wit that, not hold the queue up and get all my pocket change spent, then the wife will hand me a few handfuls of hers as she just spends the paper money.

don't know heating oil or propane prices but gasoline at the odd place is .88 cents which is $3.33 US gallon  :'(

Just so were all on the same page and we don't look like complete suckers up here:

88c Can equals 62.9 cents US, which equals $2.51 US for a US gallon.
Still we pay more for gas and everything else.

Too much green energy? I do know your electric rates are considerably higher than ours.

Everything is more,, except going to college, or the free doctor/hospitol.
But I guess thats taken care of by our high taxes.
Ya wanna play ya gotta pay
 
I think this is the way sanders is gonna swing,if elected.
You guys are gonna love paying 30+$ bananas for a box of beer [50% tax]or something like that?

Heres a picture of our new Prime Minister as a child

Oh god, Bernie Sanders as president, theres a thought that keeps me awake at night. The mediocrity will continue with everybody getting a trophy for participating in breathing.
