I am a new pellet stove owner and am suffering the learning curve. My present question is this: How many hours should it take me to burn 40 lbs? I have an Enerzone Bio-45 (45,000 BTU) and with the setting on the lowest of six it takes anywhere from 15- 28 hours to burn a bag. Part of my question is why does it vary so much from bag to bag if it is on the same setting? Doesn't the setting just determine the speed of the auger? The manual claims the burn rate on the slowest setting is 1.3 lbs./hr which would mean that it should take about 30 hours to burn 40 lbs., it has never gone that long.
Is there some sort of sensor that determines how much fuel is needed in spite of it not being on a thermostat? Strangely, barefoot pellets have burnt the quickest and those are just about the most highly reviewed of any I could find. I know there are a lot of questions buries in my question but if anyone can shed any light on this I would appreciate it. Thanks.
