24hr burn all winter
« on: May 15, 2016, 06:56:28 AM »

This winter wasn't that bad, but did get into the negatives some.  I started burning October1 and let it burn out April 15.  I burned 6 cords of hard wood, sugar maple oak hickory locus. Some of it was crappy and rotten.  I used 1 1/2 cord of pine also. I started off planning to load twice a day cause I was told I stove would be more efficient and use less wood. After about a week I got tired of putting only 2 or 3 pieces in or not needing to add.  So others than the first week or two of burning I went the entire burn season every single day and only loaded once a day.  Found it was less hassle loading In the dark or first thing before work,  never had my stove go out one time. Never had a bridge over. First year with my OwB.  C250.  2000 sq feet. Hot water.  I will say I had a stash of locus. When it got down to 0 or below I would stuff it full with 100 percent. Locus. But 24 hours later there was always still 1/3 full in the stove.   Anyways. Sweet stove. My experience
