I would be interested in knowing what you are getting in burn times with well seasoned softwoods before I have one shipped.
Also, any other things I should be aware of.
Thanks

Sorry, not in a progress, but pine and fir is all we burn here...any specific concerns?
I would expect it to work great. As fast as our wood outgasses, I would think the secondary flames would be wonderful, but you'll get most of the heat from the Cat.
It's a beautiful stove also, much better looking than the BKK.
(don't tell anyone I said that.)
Well I get 5-6 hour burn times in mine if that helps
3 Cubic Ft. What I finally figured out is load it to the max, do not leave a lot of space and use big splitsDon, how big is your firebox?
Beetle-Kill, I am still trying to make up my mind. I think I have gone full circle about 4 times now. I sent a deposit to Woodstock and am starting to second guess myself. The rear vent option really works out better with my set-up is one of the reasons I went with them over BK. I am hoping I can get a full nights sleep without getting up 2 or three times a night like I am now.
You shouldn't have any problems getting good burn times with pine or fir. I burn fir in my BK Chinook and have zero problems getting 10 - 14 hours on a half load in the shoulder season. When it is cold, it is still easy to get 10 - 12 hours on about 2/3 of a load.Also, I definitely recommend a large split or two in the night load. It really extends burn times. You'll get more wood in the box with longer splits too. The PH holds 22" long splits, so if you're using 16", you're leaving a lot on the table.
