LOL wern. Do you know how wood stoves are rated? They are rated in MAX btu.s They put out zero when cold, and max when fully loaded burning hot as possible. Take a 12 hour cycle, average that out and tell me what you get. My math tells me that is 50/hour average.
1=0
2=40
3=70
4=80
5=80
6=70
7=70
6=60
7=50
8=40
9=30
10=20
11=10
12=0.
This is how i burned my wood stove. I work and sleep, no time to keep the fire going at max potential. Post something constructive and prove me wrong, instead of insulting me. For people that have moved from wood to pellet, i do not think my findings to be that uncommon.
I have burned both. The pellet stove has not shown me anything to write home about as far as its heating capacity, and pure convection does not heat as well as a mix of convection and radiant.
First off, Nothing was meant to be insulting, but since you are taking the defence; I would think your "certification" and heating experience (common sense) would have tipped you off to the fact that pellet stoves do not throw the radiant heat as wood stoves do. I would think that a dealer for Regency, Harman, Hearthstone, MORSO, Eco Teck, Kingsman, Marquis, Enviro Fire, Morso, Pacific Energy Hampton and Valor would know the difference. So take my comments as you may, but try to lighten up.
