On the website they claim 15-18 hr burn times. I'm considering buying a 6000 model and was wondering what the users are getting.
-
Many factors, but I would guess that is about right on a mild day.
I got 12 hours today on seasoned oak keeping it at 180 and I'm heating 3500 or so square feet. I have a very similar set up to a Ridgewood. The brand I have is called a Timberwolf.

new 2500sq' home, with a lot of glass, maybe 10 hours burning lousy, rotted, dead, laying on the ground, cherry. Burning dead, rotting walnut, apple, oak or locust, the burn times seem to be 12-15 hours. And that is with an outdoor air temp of around 5-10 degrees F. I just burn junk dead wood, there is a lot of that stuff laying around on my land.

Most of my customers who heat around 3000 sq ft are reporting burn times of 12-18 hours
Where you at jtepn87?

Yesterday, I went out to the stove after 16 hours and still had wood to burn. I'm burning a mixture of seasoned and green. I know she will go longer with no problem. The great part is.........we've only used around 7% propane running the cook stove and dryer. :thumbup:

I'm in west south/ central Illinois, just a bit north of St. Louis MO. I know there are a lot of variables with this question, but I'm just thinking in general terms yet at this point.
-
There are many variables
But for example I dont see folks using more wood with this stove than a woodmaster, central boiler, or heatmaster standard model. Ive not had anyone complaining about them.
Im about 5 1/2 hours from you, closer than Northern Michigan for sure. Let me know if we can assist you, we ship these too.

Scott7m, 5-1/2 hrs. Where are you located?
-
Eastern Ky, ive been through your area several times. Seems like st louis was 5 1/2 or so away
-
Might be about right. I've driven through KY before but never just to KY. Just or a quick estimate, roughly how much would shipping be to up here.

375 to your door is my guess... could be 425 though, depends on a few unknown details
Parts ship free

Definitely. Just wondering. This will be a budgeted project so I have to consider shipping vs picking up.

Last night it got down to -8 and I filled the stove at 5:00pm With a wheel bower load of wood. Went out at 6:00am temp at 165 and a good coal bed. My house is 2500 sqft farm house. I don't think that is bad
-
At 10 pm on the 18th I put wood in my Ridgewood. Last night at 10 pm I went out and there was still wood in my stove. The weather was milder, but that was a long burn time for me.
