I've paid almost the exact same amount in gas bills this year as I did last year. But, I just looked at my actual gas usage and it's down this year. Also the average temperature this year has been lower than last year. I guess that's good; it looks like I'm using less gas but the price increase has made it a wash.

Thats funny. Our prices have been dropping like crazy. I'm using more than last year but the bills are coming in at the same price.

nice, i hope to get a stove for next season, how many tons do you go through a season? what type of house? where is the stove located?

im going to put mine in the finished side of my basement it will probably warm that room and the first floor pretty good, doubt much will make it up to the 2nd floor though. still going to have to use the electric heat alil
