i feel 40Kbtu is more realistic at least as an average with the various pellets available. i tend to be conservative. 48Kbtu is possible but that would be the best case.

OK, lets be clear....
What does "capable of" mean?
Does this mean input in terms of the number of pellets it can burn?
If so, 40K would be about 5 lbs per hour or a bag in 8 hours. Maybe 30,000 BTU output.......if lucky.

hey you guys are catching on , this would be based on input values , makes ya wonder about the stoves that are rated at 60Kbtu , meaning they would have to burn 10 lbs/hr according to your math , (which i agree with by the way), or feed at 7.5 lbs/hr (4 to5.5 hour bag) the pdv can feed up to 6 lbs/hr if the pellets are of the smaller(shorter) variety but to be honest ,burning that much fuel is insane and would literally never be called on , the transfer rate is not going to keep up with the burn rate much past 30Kbtu in my opinion anyway.
