Burn Times Explained: How they Work & How to Maximize Yours

Burn times refer to how long one load of wood burnsu2014from ignition until only glowing coals remain. Regency explains that these vary due to wood species, moisture, airflow settings, installation quality, altitude, and humidity. High burn yields high BTUs but short duration, whereas low airflow gives slower heat over longer times. Use well-seasoned hardwood and choose Regencyu2019s catalytic or hybrid models for optimal, extended burns.

  1. What are Burn Times? Burn time is the full cycle a single wood load lasts from ignition to glowing coals ready to reignite new logs without a match. It measures overall burn duration, not just visible flames or peak heat output. Factors Affecting Burn Times Type of Wood Different wood types affect burn quality. Hardwoods like oak, walnut, and cherry provide longer, hotter burns, making them ideal for efficient heating. Softwoods such as pine and fir ignite quickly but burn shorter and cooler, better for quick fires. Moisture Content Burning wood with over 20% moisture reduces efficiency, shortens burn times, and risks damaging your fireplace, stove, or insert. Always use properly seasoned wood under 20% moisture for longer-lasting, cleaner, and safer fires. Burn Settings Keeping the air damper wide open makes your fire burn hotter and faster, quickly using fuel. Restricting airflow slows the burn, giving longer heat at lower BTUs. Adjusting airflow balances quick warmth versus steady, extended heating efficiency. Installation The installation of a wood stove, fireplace, or fireplace insert plays a major role in performance. Improper venting or incorrect installation can reduce efficiency and shorten burn times. Climate Conditions Altitude and humidity impact fireplace burn times. At higher altitudes, reduced oxygen lowers efficiency and shortens burns. Similarly, high humidity introduces moisture into the air, decreasing combustion efficiency and resulting in shorter, less effective burn times for most fireplaces.
