[QUOTE="CrappieKeith, post: 1943358, member: 32750"] Making statements like his are misleading...what size the home is will change burn times...so will many other items like how cold is it outside and how well is the home insulated. What would be nice to know that you never hear is how many square feet of heat exchanger surface area is there? How many lbs' of brick are there ergo thermal mass? Stack temps do correlate in more or less heat availble in the home. The hotter the flue the less heat that goes into the home...there are only so many btus per lb. of wood. Heck I can get 10 hours in 30 below zero and my home is at 72. If I want I can get 20 hours, but my home will be 60. 1400 s/f [/QUOTE]
