One.

Any amount of heat added to any material will heat that material. Obviously, the amount of increase in heat is dependent upon the material's specific heat, its mass, and the amount of heat applied.

**Using the assumption that you wish to heat a room of 43200 cu.ft. with 3 air exchanges per hour (average), from 40 degrees to 70 degrees fahrenheit (average for New England, in the fall), then the amount of btu's per hour required would be 311,040 btu/hr.*

* {multiply volume x 0.24 btu/hr (specific heat of air) x 3 air exchanges/ hr x [temperature required - ambient temperature]}.

To convert BTU to cubic feet per hour, you need to know the specific heat value of the fuel being burned. Once you have that information, you can use it to make the conversion. Without knowing the specific heat value, it is not possible to provide an exact conversion.
