flotek,
I put 5 smaller splits in my stove this morning around 6am. Temp in house was 69.
With a clean burn going I adjusted my controls and walked away. I went all day with the temps around 70-72. Finally at 6:30 this evening I checked the stat and it said 69. Then I re-loaded. Hi temps today were 27
I'm sorry but you can't heat a house when your stove is smoldering. It just won't put off enough consistent heat. Sure it will throw some but if you're measuring burn time as when your thermostat drops then smoldering just won't do it.
I have a bigger fire box then you but still 5 smaller size splits is probably what you can cram in yours as well.
So now what we are up against is the definition of burn time and how well our houses are constructed and laid out.
I can't get 15 hours of actual flames but I can get 15 hours of burn time if I want. I do 12 hours every single day I go to work. Without smoldering.
I think the new stoves are good just not as good as everyone who owns them seem to believe they are.
JMHO
