AppalachianStan said:Is this for real. They say my stove has an 18 hour burn. I all ways thought that was any hot coals left in the box. at max with no cat I can get 4 hours before I reload.
I didn't pull any BS, this it just an honest "how I do it" & no stretching or bending facts.
Good dry birch, as much as I can get in there. Get the stove & cat hot, turn it down & let it burn.
I'll go down this evening & mix & rake the coals to the front & let it burn a few hours so there's room for another full load & do it again tonight.
Now it's not getting cold when I get the 24 hour burns, it was 30° last nigh & 32° today.
When it's cold (single digits & colder) I get 14 to 16 hour burns & have to put a 1/3 to 1/2 load in, in the afternoon to get to 10 PM at night then a full load.
