    I just realised this thread was in the incorrect forum, so moved it!

    Can someone explain to me the average consumption of home heating oil (kerosene) in a stand alone oil stove (Waterford Stanley Shire Oil Stove) I don't understand the technical data and I am sure there is someone out there who would know all this stuff.

    I usually leave this small stove running 24/7 although I have cut back these times. According to the booklet this is the technical data:

    It has a setting 1 to 6. I have it at 3 or 4 most of the time:

    Valve Setting Oil Consumption Burner input Heat output
    l/h kW (Btu/h)
    3 0.38 3.59 (12,500) 2.87 (9,800)
    4 0.43 4.11 (14,000) 3.28 (11,200)
    6 0.54 5.13 (17,500) 4.10 (14,000)

    Basically, how many litres at day is it using going 24/7?


    Thanks
