it depends. there is an energy calculator at https://www.pelletheat.org/compare-fuel-costs
we've been burning pellets for about 20 years and we like them. if you have to buy fire wood it may not be any higher $ wise and no tools, splitting, bugs ect . When we 1st started Nat gas prices were pretty high and i was buying pellets at $150/ton. the last few years Nat gas has been cheap and pellets have been high like the picture. I've never paid that much and a couple local feed stores (not TSC or menards) are usually cheaper. I don't usually have good luck with some brands that TSC carries. THere is a pellet plant about 7 miles north of me that we know the owners. they started out just doing sawdust for animal bedding and then got into pellets from scratch. One of the sons still farms and direct markets farm to table in Chicago and a few locals. THeir dad passed away a few years ago and they had a big tractor auction (Dale Shrock) that some of you may have gone to so that ties this topic back to tractors. ..anyway. so the last couple years we've used more nat gas.
we may use more pellets this year since Nat gas $ has bumped up some in price and will go higher i think if this infrastructure bill passes giving the epa the ability to regulate methane (aka nat gas). this could also affect farming as it opens the door for the epa to regulate farm methane as well which is estimated at $2500/head of beef for example. its not in the bill directly but opens the door so write your representative.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ?
