Last season I used my Summer's Heat 12, which is a non-epa stove. I loved it, and burned pretty solidly all winter long with it as supplemental heat, because my house is a heck of a lot larger than the 1,000sq ft that stove is rated for. I went through probably 3-3.5 cords. I imagine that if I had a small place that was at the max limit of this stove and had no other source of heat (like HAD to burn no matter what) then I could throw around 4.5-5 cords through it for the whole heating season.
I'm just tossing around the idea now of getting a Summers Heat 30 which is nearly two times as big, and IS an epa stove. It's still not big enough to heat my whole place (not what I'm trying to do, anyway). BUT, the question is, if I'd like to max out this stove, how much wood could I put through it?
Is there anybody here maxing theirs out?
