What kind of burn times is everyone getting with temps that cold? That's what we had last night and I checked the boiler at 12 hours and was good still so I will follow up a time when I have to fill it. I'm heating 2500 sq ft and dhw with a side arm. Radiant infloor in the basement and a 18x18 heat exchanger in the furnace for upstairs.

but i only fill it to get 12 burns.

12-14 hours on a heaping wheelbarrow

It's also very dependent on what you are heating and what wood you are burning.

I'm only asking with temps that cold as they are not average. Mainly just curious

i am getting 12 to 14 hours on a load with P&M 2840 in -30*C temps.  I would say this is 1/2 to 3/4 filling up the stove.  I am burning a mix of dry and green tamarac.

Well I could have probably went longer by letting the coals burn down a bit more but I added a little wood at 19 hours figured that was long enough and I'm satisfied with what I got out of a firebox full usually I only fill 1/2 to 3/4.

atvalaska, is that a smoker? How in the world do you maintain temp in your smoker at 30 below? I have smoked deer bologna when it was 15 deg out and it doubled the time it took to finish. How long do things take at 30 below?

wsm.......with a few mods /add more coals...do it all the time
