Coal has 1 + 2/3 the btu's of wood or corn but you have to clean the stove more often and
empty the ash pan everyday to keep it from overflowing.
I burn corn + pellets mixed at about 50/ 50 but the stove burn almost anything that will fit through the auger.

bfraymond said:Tell me if this sounds right, I light the stove at 10a.m, it burned until roughly 4 in the a.m. the next day. It was burning on low the entire time. Someone once told me the 40 lb. bag would be all day. I know this is close to a full day, I am just curious if this sounds about right.

Hi rod, today I received the pelletmaster hopper lid gasket I ordered from ya, but have a question...the knob turn to lock the hopper lid closed...smoke is leaking thru that,what can I do

4 Auger Feed times for stoves made after 1-1-94 times may very
High 17 Sec on / 3 sec off 4.75 pounds per hour
Med 12 sec on / 8 sec off 2.5 pounds per hour
Low 8 sec on / 12 sec off 2.5 pounds per hour
Keep fire mode 4 sec on / 16 sec off .8 pounds per hours
I found that information. Thanks though. Which makes no sense anyways....12 secs on is going to burn at the same rate as 8 seconds on.
I guess I was looking for actual rates or times, not the numbers they give you. Sorry to burden you.

That makes a liitle more sense. What a big difference in heat out put from low to medium and only a quater pound difference.
Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the info. This raises many more questions for me.I have never had the stove shut off becuase it has reached a temperture. I am not runnng a thermostat on it as of yet. I have noted in early post regarding feed rates, that you have mentioned a KEEP setting. I don't think that I have this option. I basically run it on low most of the time, I am in upstate NY and it hasn't gotten to cold yet. This will heat the entire house over a 16 hour period, 70 both upstairs and down. 16 hours is about how long it takes for the 40 pound bag to run out. Do you think I should be getting more time out of a bag? The times I have turned it to MED or HIGH it does put off nice hot heat. Seeing this is the first year I am heating with pellets, I want to make sure I have enough for the season and not waste bags when it is not that cold. I bought 4 ton during the summertime.
I know that was a lot of rambling but any insight on the KEEP setting would be helpful. Thanks again, I am just a rook, so this info help.

mtalea said:Thanks Rod. I just bought the ash pan door gasket and I will be installing that in a few minutes.I kinda thought that the 3' of horizontal wasn't very good but needed that much to get out the wall past my soffit /roof over hang.I will try the extra pipe I ordered and next year I guess I will have to go straight up thru the ceiling thru the roof...kinda waiting til I reroofed my house so I can flash it properly.
Any other insights you have is welcomed and appreciated
Thanks as always
Matt
