Once an hour? That's quite often unless you have an open fireplace.
In my cabin I'd toss a couple pieces of hardwood in the insert and they would last 5-6 hours (after already having a nice bed of coals). I went from burning 4 cords a season to a little more than 1. Mine also came with fans and ducts around it and it put out some serious heat. There were times when it got so hot at night I had to open a window.
@Neal, glad to hear you got this fixed. Might as well start stashing money for the air conditioner which will go out right before the next heatwave.
