I was brought up with wood heat in the spring and fall and coal in the winter. Since getting married in 1963, we used our own wood as the prime source with oil backup for when we're out of town etc. We also have a pellet insert in the fireplace we rarely use. In recent years we started buying our wood for $180 per cord, cut split and delivered, Last year after finally realizing that it's a lot of work just stacking, carrying the wood in and ashes out, the fact that I'm not getting any younger and we bought oil at the local farm show for $1.78 per gallon. We decided to run strictly oil last year. At the $1.78 per gal it was $300 cheaper than pellets. It was about $300 more than Wood at the $180 we pay. One thing I do remember was when the oil was near $4.00 per gal, It would have been a whole lot more expensive. We do miss the nice steady heat of wood and coal. Here's a couple links to calculators that will tell you exactly the costs of different fuels.
https://coalpail.com/fuel-comparison-calculator-home-heating This site used to have another calculator that you could plug in the amount of oil, wood, pellets or whatever you use and it would tell you exactly how much it would cost in another fuel. Unfortunately they have eliminated that feature.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
