I'm not getting that long of a burn since it has gotten that cold. What type of wood are you using? How high do you lids the stove?

Burn mixed hardwoods birch oak maple and ash and when its in the teens I fill it half full and when its -15 I fill it full

Max,  I think your burn times may be affected by a possible brick that has fallen over in your 2840.

How do you check if you have the issue? Do you need to empty completely and then what are you looking for? Really don't want to shut off until spring if I can help it

A lot of questions can be answered by simply monitoring water temps, Heat loss can be in pipe, low flow, larger heat load than expected, too much draft, poor wood, sticking air dampers, you get the picture we need to have much more information. If it is an issue with the stove and or bricks you will have reduced air flow and the fire will not burn properly, is that the case ?
