Someone I work with has the same insert I have (Hampton i300) and says that he gets it to burn right through the night. When I pressed him on how much he loads it up and how long "overnight" is, he said "well, I go to bed around midnight and I get up around 6. During the night I usually get up and throw one or two logs in".
Not my definition of an overnight burn.
So what is? Last night I went to bed around 1 am. Before I turned in I packed the firebox with all that would fit. I got back to the fireplace around 9 this morning and it was stone cold. I'm sure there must have been some embers but I didn't see any. Now that's a longer stretch than usual (baby slept in and who was I to argue), but 7 hours isn't and there's pretty much nothing left after 7 hours. According to the Regency website "Single load of wood providing warmth up to 8 hours". I'm getting some dry wood next week, so I'll stop steaming wood in the insert. Will that make a difference?
Thanks,
