With some great advice here, we're doing much better at getting longer burn times between reloads as well as managing the coal bed. I usually like to get the overnight load in sometime around 10 to give it time to catch while I fiddle with the air. Problem is our weekday schedules sometimes get in the way and it's hard to babysit the stove like we can on the weekend. On some weekdays, I need to do partial loads to keep the house temps up while still being ready for the overnight load around 10-ish. I've also done the overnight load earlier, then added a few splits right before bed. Is there a better way to do this?
