According to the manufacturer, the stove consumes 2.8 pounds
of fuel per hour giving you 14 - 16 hours of burn time from each
fill of the 40 pound hopper.

substance that is mostly potash and can be recycled as fertilizer.
Heat is circulated by an electric blower, but if the power to your
home goes out, the blower(s) won't work and you won't get any
heat.
