Out here on the west coast we only have softwood to burn. And can say that this is my first year with my new epa insert, and it is still trial and error. Last nite, I loaded it kinda lazy, but still had enough coals to begin again this morning after 7hrs, and that is with a 2.5 cu.ft. firebox. Back where you are and easy access to hardwood, think you would be looking at 9-10 hours?
Seems for sure that east/west works the best for overnite. Providing you rake "all the coals" to the front first. Something I failed to do last nite. :red:

I'm still burning my shorts and odd pieces. I haven't really got a good solid load in the firebox yet so I'm getting about 5 hours in a tiny firebox. I think it's something like 1.75cu ft? I'm burning everything from oak to pine... Whatever is in the short pile.
When I hit the wood in the stacks I'll just get overnight because the ash will bank some coals.
