24 hours is a bit out of reach, I think. If you know what you are
doing (and I won't claim to, having heated my house with wood for only
two years) you can go to bed and not have to get up in the middle of
the night to feed the beast.

I feed mine about three times a day in the coldest (-10 F) weather.
You have to get used to sleeping/waking chilly, which I now really
enjoy.

It's not so much the type of stove I think, but how dry your wood is,
how good the species is, how thick it is, and how much thermal mass an
insulation you have in your house.
