We brought home two ton from Lowe's today total cost $394.

Taking into consideration the efficiencies of our pellet stove and our oil burner being the same 83.5%, it would take about 240 gal of #2 oil to get the same heat output as the 2 ton of pellets. At today's $3.499/gal that would run $828, more than double the cost of the pellets.
