I just got 7.5 from a cold start but I added one split at 1.5 hours in. I was very happy to wake up to big chunks of hot coals. Back to cruise setting in 15 minutes on a reload. It will be 60 today so this load will burn out.
lit it at 8pm went to work,came home 7:30 still throwing heat about 15ft from stove.happy about that.mix of wood never keep track of species.1700s stone house no insulation.
My burn times are really low. I use left over moulding and trim pieces, which burn very hot and fast. I never load a full load at all, just a few pieces at a time. Keeps my old uninsulated house at around 69 all winter. Just a lot of work, but its free wood.

I’ve been doing consistent 12 hour burns for pretty much this whole month. Usually this time of year I’m into an 8 hour loading schedule but the milder temps this year is helping me save some wood.
These 12 hour burns have been with Aspen and I get a good 7 hours of usable heat then about 5 hour coaling stage with plenty of coals for next reload.

24 to 26 hours with a full load of softwoods on minimum air. Very little heat by the end, but enough coals for a hot reload. Sometimes enough coals for a hot reload at 32 hours.
16 to 18 hours of sufficient heat to keep my indoor temps in the mid-to-high 60s dF with outdoor temps in the high 20s to low 30s.
I'm generally doing two 1/2 loads a day to keep the heat more consistent.
1800 sq ft with 14 ft ceilings and skylights. 1970s construction, mediocre insulation.

I normally get 12 hr burns with this 38-48º weather but not currently. It's more like 10 hrs. The difference is that our wood is super dry this year and a lot of it is sap wood instead of heartwood.
