Been tinkering with my DS Stoves 400-09. The firebox measures 16"x29". The maximum log length is 26 inches. I'm burning 14"-18" splits now--mostly ash with some hard maple and red oak. We put in usually
5 splits max to 'fill'.
I'm lucky to get 6 hours burn--we wake up and the house is cold--62 degrees.
So how much can I cram into this thing without damage?
The interior of the box has brick linings. Above the brick is the secondary burner tubes that run vertical up to the top. Can I load wood into the 'metal' section of the firebox above the brick?
Would like to get 10 hours--load at night, load when I wake up, load when I get home from work and then repeat the process.
Thanks
