Does anyone have any opinions on a DS Energy Max 110, a close friend of mine is looking to purchase one just curious on any feedback people have on them? From what i have found online looks like they are pretty nice stove.

I noticed nobody replied. I dont have that exact model. I have a circulator by DS. It is a well made stove. If i had it to do over again i would buy it again, but one size bigger than i got. All of the DS stoves look like nice pieces and well made. Hope that helps some. Just buy the features that you are looking for. The quality of the stoves are good.

They are normally used in basements of Amish homes. They throw a lot of heat. They have now designed living room sides to make it more appealing to upstairs installation. It also comes in a 160,000 BTU model.John27elec wrote: ↑Sun.

160,000 BTUH stove... 18 pounds of coal per hour?? That’s a lot for a stove....

More like 13 lbs. per hour, because heating appliances are input rated. But I contend that the ratings of domestic stoves should be halved in order to better reflect reality. Thus the 160,000 BTUH stove is more likely to be in the range of 80,000 BTUH input and 56,000 BTUH output. That would still call for a maximum burn rate of 6.5 lbs. per hour, or 156 lbs. per day.hotblast1357 wrote: ↑Sun. Dec. 17, 2017 4:58 am160,000 BTUH stove... 18 pounds of coal per hour??

True. My DS Machine stove is rated at 50,000 BTUH. A few winters ago we had the upstairs partly open to the outdoors in January for renovations, so I was REALLY pushing the stove for heat and putting 90 pounds of coal a day through it. If you figure 8,000 BTU (output) per pound, that works out to 30,000 BTUH. Realistic continuous day-to-day output is in the range of 20,000 BTUH which is roughly in line with your figures.
