It's a Dutchwest. Their biggest convection stove, I can't remember the model name.
I use mostly oak and locust split just enough so that I can shove it through the stove door.
After 10 ours, it is still blowing hot air with enough coals to just load more wood and leave the catalyst running. After 12 hours, it is still blowing warm air but their is not enough fire to keep the catalyst lit when new wood is loaded. I have to shut down the catalyst and open it up to reheat the catalyst so it will burn the smoke.
Once it is hot, you shut the whole thing thing down. The fire box's only purpose is to heat the wood enough to make smoke not burn the wood. It takes hours for the wood to char and finally end up as embers. Think of the embers in a big burn pile buried in the ashes. They can stay hot for days. Same principle here.
The smoke combusts in the catalytic chamber where the heat can be efficiently extracted by the blower.
When the power goes out and you don't have the blower, it still will function as a regular wood stove requiring more frequent stoking but thankfully, we haven't had a protracted outage.
