I just thought I'd start a thread on the nights performance...er...a stove performance that is. Drinking coffee & re-loading this morning has me wondering how other stoves perform on one load of wood, so I'll start it off with this mornings stats:
Hearthstone HI(the Beast), in an unheated/uninsulated shop-metal building 30x36
8- 24" splits of White oak & Shagbark Hickory loaded @ 11:30PM
Stovetop temp @ 7:30AM- 276 degrees(measured dead center of the top), nice bed of coals
16 degree outside temp, shop temp 44 degrees
Thats a 8.5 hr burn time
I can't wait to get the house built so I can drag this monster into my basement and fire it up...........
