Oh yes I did. Banked it at 10:30 this morning. Got home from work @11:00, scraped the coals together and reloaded it. 2 minutes later it crackled to life. All with hardly any cracks.

Wow Bigg Redd. That's outstanding. Were you using "softwood"?

That's only 12.5 hours, Einstein.

13 hour "burn" in PE Spectrum
 
OK I'm dumb, don't get the headstone joke. What's the trick?

I've been easily getting 9:30 PM to 7:30 AM burns with softwood in my heritage. 4 large chunks of doug fir in a 2.3 CF firebox. More splits in the morning with no kindling needed! Maybe our doug fir had a great summer.

No trick. Over the course of time, LOL has turned into LOLZ and then LULZ on the silly ole Internets. Then you have "epic lulz," which are clearly greater than regular lulz. Taking humor in Redd's talking to himself, I wanted to show that he has created epic lulz. Do it for the lulz. Do it all for the lulz.
 
Oh yeah, I bet if that Spectrum was catalytic soapstone you could of went over 16 hours! :coolgrin:
 
Does that count as a 13 hour burn???? I've always thought of burn time as somthing puting out some heat.

I think i've dug hot coals out of my wood stove after that long and started a new fire and I have the most hated woodstove on this site.

I know i've goten 9 hour burns where I have produced heat for that amount of time.

With hardwood, nothing aginst pine I just can get free hardwood.
 
I may be conservative, burn time is the period of meaningful heat output for me or from about 250 degree stove top warming up to 250 degree stove top cooling down. Coals after 12 hrs is definitely a possibility and what the mid-sized PEs hold the unofficial record for. (Though I imagine there weren't a lot of cats in those tests.)
 
If thats the case, I can get about 16 hours or so with the Mansfield in my showroom from 300-300. Maybe I'll try it again once the weather looks like its gonna stay cold
 
Now that's impressive, especially for a non-cat. I dropped it down from 300 to 250 cuz some soapstone stoves run cooler on the top.
 
Just curious....do any of these burn times include running a blower if the stove has one?
