I know this topic gets tossed around quite a lot - but maybe you all can shed some additional light. I'm thinking about fires in early Fall and Spring when the outside temps usually range between 32-60 in my area, Portland Oregon.
How small of a fire can you burn and still have a bigger stove produce viable heat? Rhoemas, in another thread, gave, what seemed like a good example, between number of splits and heat output his stove. And would there be a difference, in that equation, between a soapstone and a cast iron stove rated at the same number of BTU's?
