C'mon doesn't anyone do PBR? A great working mans beer. Oh wait we were talking fireboxes. I fill mine and I get 8-12 hours, that's all I need to know.

First off you can't compare firebox volume to the other purely marketing specs such as burn times and SF heated. Those specs are not rock solid since so many factors outside of the stove design affect them. Firebox volume is a measurable and provable specification that has nothing to do with the installation and operation of the stove. We have found in this thread that the manufacturer specifies a false figure every time.

BrowningBAR said:Yeah, the beginning of the first year burning I was concerned with over stuffing the stove. The second year... not so much concern.

BrowningBAR said:I just checkout mine and the 10" deep might be understating things. Even measuring from the edge of the interior door lip to the vertical bar in back gives me 11". It's a bout twelve if you measure from the furthest point. Actual box size is probably about 2 cubic feet of space.
Doesn't matter either way. It will be a lot more efficient than the Vigilant. Should burn longer, too.

Oops, check your math. Even 11" deep only gets you 1.6 CF.
I didn't even consider measuring to the glass, that is not the way you are supposed to burn the stove. Approximately 10" deep is the usable firebox depth on the heritage, there is a substantial lip right where this point rests at the front. I fill the box, use all of it. If you are willing to load against the glass then you might get a little more just like if you loaded above the baffle somehow.
bokehman said:I think you boys have got it wrong measuring the firebox. There's so many different sizes and shapes (a lip here, a firebrick there, or an angled baffle, etc) that it would be much more useful to say how much wood it can hold. Fill it up with wood and then take it out and weigh it. My firebox dimensions come to 2cf, but with ash, coals and other design features I think I would be lucky to get 1.3cf of real space. One load of wood (oak) weighs about 15lb.

PE's irresponsible advertising department blows this up to 2.0 cu.ft.
Any PE Super Series owners on the forum want to sign a petition demanding our .03 cu.ft.?

So Tom, you must have an equinox in the shop. Any chance you could measure?
