Can you tell me what sq footage you are heating with P 43? Old or newer structure with good or poor insulation, airsealing ect. I am asking because I just purchased, had professionally installed P 43 in a duplex style ski condo in Bartlett. Installed in open concept living room, dining room, kitchen (one room guessing 800 - 1000 sq feet) with master bedroom bath off of that room and then there is a staircase beside the stove for 2 bedrooms and bath upstairs and closed doors to upstairs bedrooms because not being used. Total sq footage 1364. There is no upstairs over the over master bedroom but there is a higher cathedral type ceiling in the master bedroom.

1st weekend last weekend, super cold and windy but it took what seemed to me a long time to get up to 65 - 70. Originally set at 70 but only got to 65, turned up to 75, only got up to 67. From Friday after install 12 noon to Sunday 10 am, used 3 bags of pellets and started 4th bag but most of that is left as left around 11 am. I don't think its that well insulated or sealed, built in 87 and probably not built that well but not spending money on that for ski weekends in winter only. Now wondering if should have went with P 61. Still trying to learn how to use it.
