I had a long work day, and my wife was out of the house all day so I took this as a chance to test my insert on a full load. Thought I'd post the results.
I fully loaded the stove at 7am with locust and oak onn a good coal bed from the overnight. By 7:30 it was over 600 shut all the way down.
Returned home at 8:30 pm. The house was 65. Stove top at 225. Opened the door. Raked the coals around. Threw some splits on there. In less than five minutes I had ignition.
(outside temps yesterday ranged from mid 20s when I left. Reached a high of 30, then back to the mid twenties when I returned)
I was very happy with this. 13 1/2 hour burn. I was most impressed with the house temps my house is very drafty. I love my new Osburn. It is a beast.
