Save 1\3 in mid Winter heating costs switch to a wood pellet stove

Looking at our mid Winter fuel consumption we are burning 26 kg of wood per day to keep our 230 square meeters of home warm at a cost of 172 Euros per month.
That is 125 kwh of heat per day to maintain temperature, if we heated with plug in resistance electric heaters it would cost 524 euro per month.
With oil heat that would be 12 liters per day costing 364 euro per month to maintain our household temperature.
With our air source heat pumps, the same heat would cost us 250 euro per month.

So our wood pellet stove is about 78 euro per month 32% cheaper than our heat pumps!

How does that compare to others heat costs in this record snowfall this winter?
