What would be better Pellet Heat vs Propane?

Mike P asked:


We currently have a pellet stove and are thinking about purchasing a propane insert and was wondering if it would be cost effective to do so? The cost of pellets has gone to $5 a bag and we use around 3-4 tons which works out to $750-1000.. Other than the initial cost of the purchase I am not sure what the monthly cost of propane would be.

Thank you

Mike

    I think that you will find out propane is higher, to fill a tank its around $800. $900.
    buy your pellets by the ton, we can get a ton here for $125. so all you need is a place to store them,

    Many places will let you pre-pay for the propane in the summer when it’s cheaper. That will help but the only savings you will probably see is in the time you spend carrying bags of pellets.
