Depending on the time of year and location in the house you may never let it go completely out either as they also heat well.

It is also used to heat the place. Definitely puts off a good amount of heat

The water heater is on the left hand side. It had a lid and use a pot to scoop hot water out of it

Yeah my inlaws house (in rural UK) runs a rayburn like this stove. They keep it hot all through winter, it's hooked up to the hot water that runs throughout the house. Combined with 2 other fire stoves, that's how the house is heated.
