We use 100% dry seasoned wood for our main heating with the LP boiler as a back up but we never used it last year.
Our house has hot water baseboard heat and the LP prices were killing me. (we have a big old 4 bedroom farm house with very insulation and poor windows) In year past we had an inside wood furnace.
Last fall I took out the old wood furnace and installed an OWB. We heat with nothing but wood for the house and now an unattached Garage/ Shop and Craft Room. House is always warm and at time the butter melts in the dish. I also like the free hot water. Using LP would be average a cost of 600.00 per month during the winter. If need be, I could afford to buy my wood at those prices.
The only LP is for cooking. Used about a 15% of a 500 pound tank so I'll have enough LP for the next 5 years.
