Happy New Year. :|

Not much on the news front - it's been cold here for about 2 weeks - hanging out in the minus 40's in town and about -25 to -32 here at the house. Frozen drain. Monitor in the shop decided to stop firing. Another frozen drain - this time with broken pipes and several fittings. That decides the 'change out all the drain lines or not' dilemma - they're getting swapped out - all of them, differently insulated, and heat-traced with a higher wattage type. I may even box them in with an empty water line so I can run hot water through if necessary. The guessers say it's warming up...

Anyway - what you're all here for - boiler stats...

283 bags over 125 days is 2.264 bags/day.

206.4 g.e. / 31 days = 6.66 g.e. per day. (86 bags fourth month)
Average 7.7° for the month. 1.8° cooler than average.

So far we're on schedule with pellet use for the season. I figured 12 tons, we're at 5.6 just now. The rest of the initial 9 tons will be used up over the next 2 months and I'll be getting 3 more to fill out the bunker.
