So, I loaded the P&M 250 last night at 7:00 p.m. pretty much full. There's space in front and in back of the logs, but I filled it pretty much to the top.
This morning at 8:00 a.m. I went out to check it and to my surprise it was still half full! Today was my day off, so I tried to see exactly how long I could go on one fill. I pushed everything to the middle to maximize the use of the secondary burn chamber...And then throughout the day I checked it...and checked it...and checked it again. I made it all the way to 4:00 p.m. on that one load of wood!
The average temperature from Weather Forecast & Reports - Long Range & Local | Wunderground : Weather Underground was 26.4* so it wasn't what you would consider a very cold night/day. But we're heating an 1880's 2,200 square foot farm house plus keeping a 24x30 shop @ 50*.
For those of you looking to install an OWB, P&M gets two thumbs up from me!
