you get about 8,700 btu per pound of pellet. (coal and oil are the highest)
For a house in 1600-1900 square foot range that has insulation the story goes about 3 tons for a winter heating season in the north east. If you have a 90+% efficient gas furnace the cost is similar at last years rates.
most pellets stove can be set to burn .75 - 5 lbs an hour. so if your looking to just warm up a room and have a little fire going a hopper load of 50 lbs could burn continuous for nearly 3 days.
