Those of you who have one, what burn times on low do you get? Do you still have a visible flame on low?

No visible flame on "low" air handle all the way down but burns all the wood. A tad up - yes flames as Woodstock said to run it at. Burn times are relative, the stove is plenty warm for 8 hours with a full load, just coals remain. I have an outside air intake which may effect things (frigid air vs warm air - cooling the stove faster) a topic for discussion.
I have a strong draft so mines turned all the way down. Sometimes I have flames other times it's dark like a blaze king, it goes back and forth. I'm getting 10 hours with ash, did get longer with oak and hickory. I burn it at 500-550.
Burns longer if you fill it up..
In normal use, ~ 6 splits, it works overnight for me, say 8 to 10 hours.
At the very end, there's just a few coals, but the stove is still warm, say~250f
During these long runs, the splits are often black, glowing orange underneath
I rarely fill it to the brim, it's much too hot on all but the coldest nights

Only 8 hours for you on low... I plan to do a Fresh Air Supply as well. Curious of others input.

I get 8-12 hours on low. All depends on what species and moisture content of wood that I use. I don’t have a lot of draft. The low btu wood I’m burning is cottonwood and piss fir (sub alpine fir). I get 8-9 hours out of this. Stove top will be 225-250 and plenty of coals to reload.
Flames time depends a lot on what temperature I am reloading at. If I reload at 300 and shut it down, I might get 1/2 hour of secondaries. At 400 I might get a couple hours of lazy ghost flames. With this stove, giving it a tiny bit of air will give you nice flames.

Sounds like it is working well for you. I am very happy with this stoves performance. It kicks out massive heat when I want it to and I easily get overnight burns with low quality wood. A blaze king isn’t going to get their famed 30 hour burns out of this wood. I can get 12 hours with the better wood and tight stacking. With my schedule, I rarely need to so I don’t bother.
I have got 14 hours out of a load of Russian olive, which is the closest thing I have to a hardwood around here. It is hard to get/ deal with so 8-9 hours it is. Lol
In my climate I can get the 24/30 hour burns in my BK with low quality wood. Silver maple is about the crappiest wood we’ve got besides pine.
It's not a BK but 10 hour burns with the high heat output is good enough for me. I get 12 hours with better wood when it's not zero at night.

They said to run it with flame all the time? I thought you could run the hybrids cat-only, with no flame..?
Burn time is relative depending on how much house you are heating, quality of insulation and air-sealing, type of wood you are burning, and outside temperature. With red maple and outside temps in the low 40s, I have gone 20 hours keeping 2400 sf at 70, with an easy relight from coals. Conversely, when it's -10 outside, and the PH is filled with black locust I have to reload every 6 hours to keep 70.
