I have come to see 'burn time' the same as square footage heated. If a manufacturer states 1000-2000 sq' it means 1000 in the dead of Jan-Feb in the coldest climates and 2000 in more moderate climates, etc. So, 'burn time' logically means appreciable heat necessary to heat YOUR home to YOUR comfort levels; which varies day by day, month by month throughout the season. If a continual fire is necessary, or if a bed of coals is all it takes, that is the burn cycle. I've added a couple splits already this morning, but now the sun is out and the stove can cruise to coals enough to start a fire later early evening.

Save about 20 till you have enough to roll the first of your second generation.
Save this second generation till you have about 20 more for your third generation.
And so on, and so on,.....
