You know someone's serious about cars when you see a lift in their garage. :) I have personally never seen one in a home garage. Guess I don't hang with serious car ppl. lol

The bags are 4 tons of wood pellets. We use a pellet stove to reduce our consumption of heating oil. |

We actually just bought it last February (we always put our tax return money into improving the energy efficiency of our house). We just burned it during the day for the month of February and used about 40 lbs per day. By March we realized that if we burned it 24 hours per day it could heat the whole house and we wouldn't need to use any oil. Since March was a bit warmer, we still just used one 40lb bag per day. For us, one 40lb bag of pellets yields the same results as 5 gallons of oil (I actually have a digital meter hooked to my oil burner to assess our daily burn rate). So, with oil at $2.25 per gallon and pellets at $200 per ton, one $4 bag of pellets equals $11.25 of oil.

By oil I mean heating oil, which is basically the same as diesel fuel, but is supposedly less refined.
