How long does it take to get to 500 degrees

[thewoodlands]

I timed my start-up this evening. Took 40 minutes.

Oddly enough, I didn't light the stove this morning, but there were enough coals left over from last nights load to relight from coals instead of using my normal 1/4 piece of a super cedar fire starter.

I have timed ours to 300 which took 7 - 10 minutes and thats starting without any coals. I'm not sure if I have timed it to 500, you would have to check some of my earlier messages.

About 20-30 minutes for me from start up. I use some cut up pallets mixed with some small pieces of dimensional lumber to get the stove hot. Then top it off with the real stuff.
