Which stove burns more wood? I am heating a 2000 sq. ft. house. Which stove will need more oak? Thanks!
 
The T6 has the larger firebox so it can load more wood and potentially burn longer. That of course depends on how it's run. Both are good heaters, but quite different in design.
 
Personally I looked at the Oslo and Hearthstone Bennington, prior to the T6,

Note the firebox dimensions with the Oslo will require E/W loading. I envisioned logs rolling out against the glass with the Oslo, it could not envision side loading or front loading east west. Oslo has a smaller firebox. But has that brown enamel that your wife wants.....

"Amount of Wood" is rather vague or obscure way to consider stoves. You may have some better success using the search tool within the forum to see opinions on the various stoves you are considering.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one . . . I ended up going with the Oslo, but the PE line up was a close runner up.
