Hello, this is my first year with a woodstove. I bought an EPA-approved, Englander 13-nc. I am having a situation that do not seem to be right and wanted to ask you all for advice.
One thing to know in advance. Since this is my first year, I bought my firewood. I know it has not been seasoned for a year. I am cutting and buying wood this winter - stockpiling it for next winter, so I will have some good seasoned wood!
My problem:
I can only get a maximum of about 3 1/2 hours before my fire is out. If I wait 4 hours to check it, there are not enough embers to start a fire back. That seems like an awful short time. What do you think? Will good seasoned wood extend that time?
Any advice is certainly appreciated. Thanks.
