Destination 2.3 Insert Installation and Operation Manual
23
The length of burn you can expect from your insert, including both the flaming and coal bed phases,
will be affected by a number of things, such as:
•
Firebox size,
•
The amount of wood loaded,
•
The species of wood you burn,
•
The wood moisture content,
•
The size of the space to be heated,
•
The climate zone you live in,
•
The time of year.
The table below gives an approximate maximum burn cycle times, based on firebox volume.
FIREBOX VOLUME
MAXIMUM
BURN TIME
<1.5 cubic feet 3 to 5 hours
1.5 c.f. to 2.0 c.f 5 to 6 hours
2.0 c.f. to 2.5 c.f. 6 to 8 hours
2.5 c.f. to 3.0 c.f. 8 to 9 hours
>3.0 c.f. 9 to 10 hours
A longer burning time is not necessarily an indication of efficient insert operation. It is preferable to
build a smaller fire that will provide three or four hours of heating than to fully load the firebox for a
much longer burn. Shorter burn cycles make it easier to match the heat output of the insert to the
heat demand of the space.
5.4.5 Logs Orientation
In a relatively square firebox, the wood can be loaded north-south (ends of the logs visible) or east-
west (sides of the logs visible).
North-south loads allow more wood to be loaded at the same time. On the other hand, they break
into smaller pieces faster. North-south loading is good for high output, long lasting fires for cold
weather.
East-west loads
allow a limited amount of wood since too many logs could cause them to fall on
the glass. East-west loads, placed in a compact way, take a long time before breaking down. They
are excellent for low-intensity, long-lasting fires in relatively mild weather.
