I saw on This Old House where they went to Germany and that's what they use to heat houses...wood pellet fired boilers.

How much does 6 tons of wp's cost?

How many BTUs is that?

Thanks!

I pay between $200 and $250 per ton, depending on the price of gas (as the main factor that effects the pellet cost is the cost to haul them).

For my house I find that a ton of pellets produces the same heat as a 275 gallon tank of furnace oil, for about 1/4 to 1/3 the cost.
