Batch burn units arent compared to owb though. A long burn can be most efficient. I know folks with garns who have spent 25k or more and still fire everyday and sometimes twice in cold weather with 2000 gallons. One bad thing is if you let it get to cool before you refire then one batch wont bring it back up to temp, so instead of throwing wood in and going on about there day, they have to stick around to throw in another batch.
With 2000 gallons and 50 degrees worth of drop
16,600 pounds of water. 200 degree down to 150 is 830,000 btu.
Conventional stove may get 50 percent of btu available, thats being generous
So. Wood is 8600 btu per pound. Moisture content pets say is .25. 6450 available btu, a conventional stove may claim half those, so 3225 btu per pound of wood.
It would take 257 pounds of wood to acheive that 830k available btu
With 830k btu your heat loads would look like this. If your heat load was 69kbtu per hour youd last 12 hour
if it was 34,500 youd go 24 hours. 48 hours on 830k would only be 17000 btu per hour
Soo... Youve either gotta have far more than 2000 gallons pf storage or this 3-4 days stuff aint gonna happen.
At 2000 gallons with 50 degree drop, 96 hours would only provide you with 8500 btu per hour
I know there is more heat available than simply 200 down to 150
But once you go below 150 your ability to heat watrr through an exchanger drops significantly as well as performance
