Looking for some feedack on how often some of you need to burn in your wood boilers. I have a Greenfire Wood Boiler 90KBTU with an 822 gal storage tank. I heat a 2500 sf well insulated home with radiant heat, a 40 gal DHW Indirect and a 700sf garage w/in slab heat. I do keep the house around 65 deg. I find that when its below 30 I have to burn every 8-10 hrs to warm the storage tank from 140 to about 180.

Just looking for some comparisons.
