TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Propane isn’t nearly as bad as oil, so I’m happy to be a propane user right now. Will fill up my 500 gallon tank in December 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get firewood now at say $300 a cord you could save yourself $700 over a 150 gallons of fuel oil. I'm getting 2 cords of semi-seasoned delivered Thursday for $450 cash total.

Maple, Ash and Oak with some Black Locust mixed in. He cut and split it in April so I'm hoping it's good to go by Thanksgiving. I still have a little under a cord left over from last season.

powderfreak Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Radar is a lot more bark than bite. 0.04" here, enough to wet the ground. Looking at the PWS around NY/New England, so far it's 0.0-0.10" for most, largely under 0.05" despite a green radar. The stuff in E.NY is starting to add a slight bit of water but the first half of radar echoes with this line looks like mostly virga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 46 minutes ago, kdxken said: Curious as to if anyone has given thought to heating their home next winter? Natural gas prices have already doubled this year and home heating oil is sitting at six bucks a gallon. I’ll leave the tank empty and make everyone wear arctic gear inside. no hot water either, kids. But for real, it sucks…eventually we’re going solar and geothermal heating/cooling. The ground loops to run geothermal take up a good amount of electricity so that’s where the solar comes in. It was initially more of a 7-10yr plan for us but I’m pushing the wife to make it a 3-5yr plan instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the black locust is from mature trees you also might be okay. The oak will likely take all the BTUs just to burn it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
