Hearthstone Heritage

What’s the longest burn anyone got out of their Hearthstone Hearitage. Most I can get with white oak is about 7 hrs.

Define burn. Does this mean coals for restart? 200F stove top?

 

[mrpee]

Yes coals for restart and around 200 deg top.

8-10 hrs max seems to be what most have reported. At 7 hrs you may be ok if you are having to push the stove a bit harder in very cold weather.

If 7 hrs is during mild weather then there may be other factors like strong draft, the thickness or dryness of the wood, how tightly packed the stove is and how large the coal bed is on a reload.

I owned a heritage for several years. Burning low btu woods like fir and alder. My record was 10 hours and restart without matches. Overnight was easily doable but stove output at the end of 8-10 hours was really low.

During the day I burn fir or pine and load with oak at 10:00 pm, damper closed. Coal bed around 5:am. Can usually restart with kindling . I put in a pipe damper, guess I should try using that .

Hi, I only have pine here in black hills. My question is how do times change for overnight burn with Heritage?
Thanks.

I burn mainly fir and alder. 6-7 hours makes me very happy. By then there is not much heat left. If I dig around in the ashes I sometimes find coals.
