need a second stove or insert

[raybonz]

If you want 12 hour burns, the B king is your only hope. My insert might be good for 8, and it's a pretty big stove. Pellets, really? Have you burned pellets before? I bet your gas unit is cheaper to operate, especially if you don't service it yourself.

I disagree there are many stoves that will give you a 12 hour burn time.. The NC-30 and T-6 come to mind and there are others from Woodstock etc. that will give you 12 hrs.. My T-5 will go 10 hrs. easily..

I completly agree with you, but we are talking about inserts here.

Sorry I missed that part.. Burning pine 12 hrs. seems rather long for any stove if you expect to get any heat from the insert or stove..

No matter what stove you run there is no way a load of silver maple will give the same btu's as a load of oak..

Well, I reload every 24 hours or so with Silver Maple and every 24 hours or so with Oak. My house is just as warm.
