It is my opinion that the Badger 5 wrap pipe is the best that money can buy.  Expect to pay less than $10.00 per foot even from a dealer.

 I've used Badger in the past and was well pleased with their product.

What do you use now? (PM me if you don't want to post here)

Shipping is going to be a killer on 40'. It costs just as much to ship it as it does 300' so the shipping price per foot itself is going to be around $3.

I use the pipe that my heatmaster dealer uses, the bubble wrap inside the corugated pipe, I got ahold of him, its $6 a foot and he will drop it off for me. I'll probably just go that route.

I have the Logstor pipe running 90 feet each way and have a 1-1.5 degree loss, round trip. Even when we put the pipe in the ground with the "bend", it straightens out after a bit. I've used other piping systems in the past and the pipe you use will make or break your system's savings over oil. I went from 21 cord to 14 cord, and I expect to do even better next year with real seasoned wood.

DO NOT SKIMP ON THE PIPING.......YOU WILL HATE ANY SYSTEM WITH CHEAP PIPE.
