That’s a very arbitrary calculation. It depends on how cold it is outside, where you set the thermostat, how well your house is insulated, etc.

I have a QuadraFire Castile. Very nice traditional styling.

It has a remote programmable thermostat which is great. Set and forget. It also has a battery backup so it can run off a 12v car or boat battery during outages. Great feature.

I’ve had it for 8 years, and it works flawlessly. Makes less than 5 gallons of ash for every ton of pellets burned. When it’s hot and burning, there’s no visible smoke from the chimney and no smoke odor at all. Kind of amazing really.
