Tom Raymond Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I always forget that a BTU is an expression of a pound of water. Britts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 So, fumbling here..... That would come out to approximately 1 1/2 pounds of wood per hour to supply the 12,500 btu's per hour. How many gallons get circulated per hour (approximately)? I'm trying to figure out how many pounds of wood per hour to keep it running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Marc, Doug fir is not good heating wood. Wonder about the other woods, moisture, etc. Also what effect does buring 36" x 6" bolts have on the calculation? Chad, what are you burning?

kurt Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Good point. I'd guess Chad's got a fair share of native american hardwoods close at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
