Seems unrealistic--BUT, he's heating 2500 sq stove set on 12--real possible considering all that--my house would be a sauna & with that video--in my world, that would be serious over-firing! Who the hell knows. M has been given some good suggestions to address--time will tell.

I think I may have had crappy coal. I bought a different brand this time (blaschak instead of reading) and this seems to be burning alot better and hotter actually hit 350 with dial at 9 . These bags seem to have more uniform sized chunks than the other stuff. Last night it burned good and I woke up to it still going with about a 1/4 hopper left

Poke around the forum You can get near up to 48 hours w/o a serious refill with this stove
I've yet to try 48 hours. Burning pretty hard I have no problem getting 24. I usually tend around 12-14, with no issues,but it's nice to have that buffet if I can't get home.
Silly wood burners think 6 hours is a nice long burn.

If you monkeyed with the thermostat chain, maybe someone with a 50-93 can give you a bead count to get you back on track. My 50-93 is not here, or I'd give you the count myself. Oliver
