I did an experiment for you M55 owners that might be curious as to what the actual BTU input of our stoves are. I ran my stove on heat level 5, feed trim 3 for 2hrs and calculated the BTU input. I'm burning pellets that advertise 8200BTU/lb. My stove burned 14.5lbs during the 2hrs. I calculate that at 59,450BTU/hr. So, it will likely be around 60,000BTU with the feed trim up to 5.
So, for anyone wanting the Mt Vernon because it's bigger...not really. The M55 is just as capable.
