So I'm mostly a NS burner, but I loaded the stove EW tonight to see if I get a longer burn out of less wood. So far this burn seems to be burning much slower than my usual NS overnight burn. The only problem is a big oak split fell right up on the glass. That is the best feature of burning NS for me. No worries about logs rolling into your glass. When I had had a smaller insert I loved burning NS because I could pack it to the gills. Now with a larger firebox that's not an issue. I'm going to be experimenting with EW burning and I'm curious of other burners experiences.
Anyone prefer burning EW? If so, why? What are your experiences with both? I hear a lot of members on the forum switching from EW to NS. Anyone switch over from NS to EW? I'd love to hear your input.
Here's a not so great pic of my EW burn tonight. You can see the black and gray oak split leaning on my glass.
