Burn Times
« on: January 23, 2014, 04:51:40 PM »

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

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.

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

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.
