Here are photos of the load I'm putting in now (not my Englander, but it's not really different). Five pieces: two up against the back, one in the middle, two up front with the top one pushed back almost to the rear top. In the middle is 1/8 of a Super Cedar starter (the starter, in the first pic, will go on top of the single middle log, which is essentially where the knot is in the photo). Nothing else. This will take about five minutes to get going with the air totally open and front door cracked. I'll then shut the door and wait for the temp to get to around 400 when I'll shut the air down to 50%.
My wood is 3+ year-old birch/maple/oak/pine.
It'll burn for 3-4 hours and bring my 1,200 ft² top floor from 63 to roughly 70 for the rest of the night. It's currently 45° out.
