I am just curious as to what type of burn times other FPX owners are getting. This is my second year of heating with my FPX 36 elite and I want to compare my experiences with others to assess how I am doing.
First, please explain your definition of a burn time and then of course what burn times you are getting.
Myself, I probably do not have the proper definition of a "burn time" but for me I consider it to be a complete burn cycle. Meaning the time from when I load the fireplace until I have a bed of coals and it is time to be raked forward and reloaded. The max time I am able to get is about 4 hours. I am able to keep small coals way longer than this perhaps 6-7 hours but by this time my fan is out and when I do reload it takes time to get everything fired back up again and heating. This is not ideal for heating over night and not having the house cold in the morning. I am trying to avoid getting up at night. Is this unrealistic? so anyway how do I compare? Any thoughts, comments or experiences would be appreciated.
