All I know on setting 6 look out..........you will be lucky to get 5-6 hours on a bag...

10,500 btu=1.3 lbs per hour=40/1.3=31 hours
65,000 btu=7.9 lbs per hour=40/7.9=5 hours

However this is input BTU not OUTPUT........which is about 22% less than rated.

I have an Osburn 7000 (SBI) 70,000 BTU I was assured by the dealer that this was output, it even said so on the brochure. Bangs head slowly!

Anyways I was just complaining on another thread that I gobbled up 2 1/2 bags of pellets in 24 hours, I now understand where they went to. Thanks for the information
