I've found that the best way to be efficient with your interior burns is to only open the vent the absolute minimum to maintain your wood's burn, and also using a hybrid method of firelogs and actual wood. I like to use 1 Tacoma firelog and 2 regular splits. The firelog will maintain your fire base while you add 1 split at a time after getting your inital fire going.
Powerlineman here retired, nothing beats a wood burner after I've been out in it for 16 hrs with 8 to rest and do it again. Now I get to sit next to it without the work part 😆
