Yes, we get over half of our house heat from the pellet stove, averaging about $200/ton over several years. That is about 1/2 the price of oil per delivered BTU.
My take is that oil vs propane is pretty much a wash so converting from one to the other will take from a long time to infinity to pay off. My concern about propane is the Kaboom factor. While it is rare for a propane heated house to blow, it does happen. I have never heard of a house blowing up from #2 oil fumes.
