There's alot that determines how much wood you will use for example.How it  was hooked up, how well your house is closed up,what and how your heating your house(forced air,radiators,radiant) theres alot that affects how much you will use I can go on and on but you should check into everything and no matter what WE ALL TOOK THE BLOW AND DID IT ARRRRE WAY good luck and the heck with buying fuel.

WoodMaster / Re: WM Temperature setting differences

Go for it try a couple of different settings like 150 on and 170 off in milder weather and 160 on 180 off. You can go even lower in temp see how your house reacts and wood consumption goes, you can always put it back good luck.

I love my heatmaster! he 5000 3500 sq ft home heated to 75# coldest winter in along time northeast pa. Ill be using around 8 cords this year probably less due to testing coal and wood together looking really promising probably cut that down to5cord and 1 ton off coal we'll see what happens next years total.

I think a leak in the door would do the same thing on my stove??? depends on what you set the temp control at and if air is still available would over heat, what do you think willyG that could happen right?? I would get a redicheck thermometer and when the stove is set to shut off and does and the temp continues to rise alot then something might be going on.

Im new here and own a heatmaster since 2005 my aquastat would let it get to high which in turn would boil over and loose water then it would shut stove down to 140# or something come back on and do it all over again. Unless your out there you would never no if you werent paying attention to some water on ground might want to check into that also. I solved that problem with a redi check thermometer that you would use for cooking I know whats going on out there at all times and im warm in my house worth $40.00. (lets hope its not under ground that would stink)What controls your temperatures??
