was wondering if those with an Englander 30 model could share with me some of there burn times? once you have gotten it broke in and all figured out.
Thanks

If you're burning something like Oak, like BB said, 8-9 hours is no sweat with plenty of coals to relight off of. I've pushed mine to 12 hours before with coals to relight. Not a lot of useful heat after that amount of time, but at least I could relight without a fire starter.

With the wood burner's hold grail, coals to start a reload, laying there in the back waiting for me.
Been doing the same thing the same way with the 30 since 2006.
BrotherBart said:A whole lot depends on the size of the splits, their dryness, and whether it is a N/S orientation of E/W. With smaller splits N/S and more of them it is going to burn hotter and faster. The very large three oak split burn for mine is norm because most of the time I don't have the heat requirement that a lot of folks here have. I just need the steady burn offered by the large splits N/S. Most people spread the coal bed and load on top of it. I rake the cold bed to the front and "cigar burn" the splits.
Going into the next three days of really cold temps I will probably go to a hotter but shorter five or six medium split setup for more heat but shorter burns.

Going through about the same amount of wood with lower temps in the house. Average temp is 70-71 °F with the bedrooms around 67°F .
2°F Low temp last night & woke up to 71°F this morning. Still not to shabby!
High today was 12°F
