To those who wonder about length of burns...
I've had my PE Summit installed for a little over a month now, and I am happy to report... after the initial "test" burn (after which I let it go out), I've only had to use ONE MATCH, and it's been cranking ever since!
Albeit the Summit is a fairly large box, at around 3 cu/ft, but I don't always load it as full as I could. Regardless, there's usually enough embers to get the job done when I return after being away from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, and between 10PM and 6 a.m. overnight. With a little patience, a couple of small splits, and between 5-15 minutes of time, eventually... poof! It fires up as expected! It's really great to watch it combust after sitting there for a spell.
My dad's been running a small zero-clearance fireplace for 15 years and swears he can't get coals that would fire up in the morning. I'm wondering... could he be convinced to put more wood in overnight?? I'll see him this week. Let's find out!
Burn, Baby, Burn!
