The saving grace was that all you needed to do was take the poker and turn the ashes over and there would be hot glowing coals that easily started the next fire. This was consistent and as long as you loaded it again within say 8 hours you always had those glowing coals. Not sure how others did with this stove but we never got an overly, prolonged burn. Rather than load it to max during the day I would just throw a couple logs on at a time and repeat every few hours.
It may be worth looking into how people bank their wood for long burns. I'm not sure of the different Woodstock versions, but I've always seen 10+ hour burns. Though, now that I think about it, that was with the new(er) catalytic combustors...
