Nothing like heating oil usage in the NE though.
No way can I afford electric heat.
Propane delivered is pretty much the same so no need to switch. Besides I don't like gas of any type being pumped into my house. No natgas lines out here.
Plus I can fetch kero in 5 gal containers or 50 gallon drum in the pickup if I don't want to pay for 100 gallon min delivery.
Typically I go through 100 gallons/year for morning/daytime heating, and then 2 to 3 cords pine firewood for evening night, per winter. Pretty reasonable considering the normal amount of snow and freezing Thanksgiving through April.

The Toyo & Monitor brand wall stoves are such nice and efficient units and they have been pretty popular here in the NW. Look good in a corner, electronic timer/thermostats, extremely efficient. So they created a market here for heating oil/kerosene.

I have both an oil and wood furnace here. Oil prices here go down every few days and the cheapest i've seen is $2.60 a gallon as of today. A cord of wood, mostly oak, goes anywhere from $250 to a little over $300.
I gotta replace the firebrick in the stove before I can do another fire. Due to melted support bars for them, I gotta find a way to cut an inch or so off the new ones.

But the local distributors probably got screwed by the refiners when they stocked up for winter season - just before the price plunge. Since its not super high volume here its going to be hard for them to move it before they can replace it with prices more in line.
Abrasive saw blades for your circular saw are inexpensive and work great for brick.

Yeah I was expecting it to be in the high $2's.

Get a Ryobi cheap at home depot.I've used chisel before. The 4" wide ones for brick. Just go slow and make a good line. Buy glasses first.

I get free wood at work, so I do need a saw. More of a chop saw would be better for me. Right now i'm cutting up the boards, 2x4 type but mostly oak, with a chain saw!

My Ryobi stuff has worked great building my addition. Can't justify $3-400 stuff when this works.

An 8 inch mitre saw can be had for $68 there. I've come close to picking that up for the wood. Firebricks I think at 4.5" on the cut side so that would be big enough too.
