There are a lot of variables.. how big is your firebox? How full do you fill it? Chimney design? Wood species? How dry? Outside temps? heck, inside temps? I could run through a full load of hickory in 4 hours.. but it would be +100F in the house today.
No two stoves run the same.
My first year here, there was another Homestead owner who I compared notes with a lot.. he hated his. Wouldn't heat a 1600 sqft house for him. Our installs were pretty comparable. He gave up, and went back to a non-epa stove. My 2100 sqft was warm. I was happy.
