Does anyone here burn through the summer to heat their hot water? I have still been starting a fire about every 24 hours to heat my water and keep the power bill down. I get all the free pallets from work I want and we also have kiln dried pine that we use at work to build furniture. The pine is 1x4 and 1x6 about 6-8" long but puts off more smoke than the pallets.
Anyway the reason for my post is the breaker to my hot water heater has been cut off since October and my power bill even with the AC was not this cheap last year this same time. I have free wood for short hot fires so I don't mind burning it. The only draw back is the nails in the pallets. Last year this time our bill was at least $180 and this spring/summer the highest one we have had is $115.
