I'm considering burn times, efficiency, etc.. I have a much deeper fireplace opening than the Princess can use. I only wish the Princess took longer logs (20-24"would be nice).

Is there any other stove on the market that can perform at the level of this cat stove, and have 20 hour burn times, etc..? Thanks.

My PI has never gotten a 20 hour burn time. The advertised 20 hour burn time is from a lab with perfect wood and no ash in the fire box. The best burn times I have gotten are around 12 hours, this is about average according to Chris who work at the BK main Office. My real world burn times of heating my house are all that I can tell you. my 12 hour burn time is really good compared to other inserts on the market.

The Princess stove is a differnt animal and those guys get longer burn time than the PI gets, closer to 20 hours.
