I have never had a new epa stove and just wondered how long the secondary flames burned compaired to total burn time of a full load.
north of 60 said:I would say from my previous stove would be 1.5 to 2.5 hrs but that would be pushing it. I think you answer's will vary.
Todd said:I've had flames as long as 6 hours before but usually around 4 hours with a full load.
BrotherBart said:If I am going for the light show, which I quit doing three years ago, my stoves would keep it going for thirty to forty five minutes. Any more I start backing it down at four to four fifty and settle the stove in to a five-fifty to six hundred burn and let the burn tubes do what they were designed to do, pick off stray gases that get past the burn on the wood. Longer more even burn and heat.
And less excitement watching the thermo take off for the sky. I don't know of one stove manual that says set off a volcano at the baffle. But I am the only one here with that burning philosophy. :smirk:
