Hello all, going on my 2nd winter with my 30-nc. If I load the stove with hardwood I'm only getting about 3-4 hours out of it before the wood becomes a bed of coals and stack temp down to 250. Loading about 4-5 times a day, burned 2 cord in 1500 sq ft home in 1.5 months and thats not constant use. I have a better income now and I was considering a new jotul or similar if this is a character trait of the 30-nc. I run it with the draft slide about even with the ash lip once upto temp. My old smoke dragon VC resolute burned longer. Owners feedback is appreciated.
