Pretty much most of the talk about pellets concerns amounts of Ash, dirty, clean etc..

like for users here to post the longest continuous time u got from a "Named" bag or the shortest burn time from a bag of pellets...
Let's say it was in dead of winter and the stove would not be shutting down for some time so continuous burn time here is key... or Shortest as in," My stove ate up those @#$%^ pellets like Candy.... need pellet brand and Stove.....

My old Winrich Dynasty could mow through 40lbs in about 6hrs at max power. It was some pretty epic heat though, there weren't many opportunities to run it that hard, for that long. If I idle along with it it'll burn something like 30hrs.
 
That night it was 0 degrees I made 12 hours with a bag of 40 pounds of Cubex I have a 3 story house 2300 square feet and p68 is in the basement.
Milder weather I did 24 hours.
Stove temp, feed 3 , heat 3 for 12 hours
Stove temp, feed 2 , heat 1 for 24 hours

Just found out last night as it cooled off rapidly overnight and the stove had to run continuously.

10 hours on setting 8 of 9.

For reference, it runs 30 hours on setting 1 of 9.
