I hate to say it but I might have to weigh a few of my wood loads before I burn. It is just a gut feeling, but to me it seems as though my wood consumption with my Econoburn 200 and 1000 gallons of storage has actually increased after adding storage.
Last year I would idle on and off. When I was home I would just throw in a small amount of splits when needed. This year I burn a shopping cart of wood at a time. One row of splits in the cart, heaped up will do it so far, maybe a little more if it is below 20 degrees or if I want to push tank to 188 top 185 bottom.
I have tried using 1/2 amounts morning and night instead of once a day but I think results are the same.
Some of my pieces are 16-18" long so they are short for my 21" firebox. Need to get a scale to see what is actually going on.
