Does anyone have the 114 or the number 6?..and if so what are you burning for size coal and how long can you maintain the fire during a 20 degree day?

I just saw a 114 on ebay! I burn Nut coal in my Glenwood #6 base heater. I can leave it a day without worrying about the fire. shake it down in the morning and leave for work and no one needs to touch it . If you idle the stove low it will go 24hrs + easy. It depends on the size of the space you are trying to heat, the temperature of that space you want, chimney draft and coal your burning . My normal routine is to wake up, shake the ash, top the stove off and go to work. work 9 hours so gone about 10 - 11 hours , come home , relax for a minute, shake stove, top it off and do it all again tomorrow . There are others on here that can give you more detailed numbers.

The Modern Oak 114 is a much smaller stove than a No 6.
When the weather is in the twenties my No 6 requires tending once every 16-18 hours. Ashes removed once every 2 days.

The 114 Modern Oak has a 14 inch fire pot, verses a 16 inch for the #6 base heater.

The 114 is not a base heater like the #6. However, sometimes the 114 show up with an optional back pipe (indirect, or revertible flue) that helps extract more heat from the flue gases.

Being smaller than a #6, the 114 has less heat radiating surface area.

Member Franco B has a 114. He can tell you more about how long it will run.

Like any stove the run time of a 114 will depend on how hard it is fired. At 30 pounds per day I tend every 12 hours but will go further if needed. Mine has the original firebrick so the fire pot becomes 12 inch. The 116 or 6 is a much larger stove.

My No.116 (16" pot) with back pipe running at 350 to 400 degrees on the barrel will run on average 12 hours between tending. I can stretch it longer depending on conditions but 12 hours is convenient for me. I burn mostly nut sized coal but the stove also runs well on stove size or a mix. (My stove is lined too so it is actually a 14" pot).

You'd need to run the 114 harder than my 116 to get the same amount of heat so in identical conditions you'll need to tend the 114 more often. That doesn't mean you'll burn more coal, just that you'll need to refill more often.

The No.6 is in a different class entirely. Being a base burner, it holds about the same amount of coal as my 116 but uses it more efficiently, extracting more heat per pound of coal burned. One of these days I'll get my NO.6 running and get a direct comparison between the two stoves.

I was initially going to get a 114 but after reading through many posts here on this forum decided that for my house a 116 would make more sense. I'm so glad I got the larger size. Better to have excess capacity that needing to push a smaller stove.

What sort of space are you trying to heat?
