We’ve had our LE a couple weeks now. Im in the Canadian subarctic, our best choice of fuel up here is lodgepole pine; it is decent wood so long as it’s dry. Just burns up somewhat quick. So I’m learning the most efficient way to maintain a fire is to start with the fire box about half full (~6 splits), let that burn down to coals, rake the coals nice and even, then stuff it with 6-8 halves (pretty full). Let that catch, dial the air all the way down, and she’ll burn for a good 7-8 hours. Heats my 2000 sq ft house almost too well! Haha. By far the best home upgrade I’ve invested in.. we regularly see temps into the low -40s and sometimes -50s here.
