I always forget that a BTU is an expression of a pound of water. Britts.

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.

As long as I'm not handling it, it doesn't matter. Wood, the fuel that warms you thrice.

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?

Good point. I'd guess Chad's got a fair share of native american hardwoods close at hand.
