    Dang it Darrin, my wife just saw your red maple leaf side covers. Now she wants me to order a pair so we can change out our leg covers with the seasons!

    LOL, sounds like my move, 4 guys all with a different plan, I deferred to my BIL and almost had a disaster, ended up using my plan.
    Did you guys carry it or use a dolly of some sort?

    I tried shooting it tonight with the other pics I posted. I had the worst time getting the shot, the center burner is the stove color so there was nothing offset about it. I tried with a flash and it just glared against the paint and no flash gave me a dark shot. If i can get a light nearby tomorrow, I'll try again

    I'd suggest telling your wife a story, I think Lorin hates me because of those maple leafs.
    and Thanks...

    Before the guys came over I built a heavy duty furniture dolly with 8 casters, we ended up using that.
    Originally we were going to use a hand truck with pneumatic wheels, then we decided against it because
    of the weight being too concentrated on the two wheels vs the 8 on the dolly.

    It should be an interesting season, my first time with a cat and a steel stove. A new learning curve for sure and hoping for better burn times and less wood usage . Lots of posts to come!

    I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.. I love the new hybrid stoves as they offer the best of both worlds.. Looking forward to your feedback on the IS!

    I just looked at this thread, man that has got to be exciting for you guys, having a new custom made stove to start the new burning year.
    I hope it treats you well

    Nice of you to say HD. Woodstock was nice enough to let their customers customize the details of the stove to make them unique but the stove itself are all the same. We are looking forward to some incredible stuff, sort of like what the beta testers were feeding us. :)

    Welcome to the forum Jim! Looks like your in for a treat, a visit to Woodstock is wonderful in itself.
    Take in everything they have to offer, ask questions, look at everything and enjoy the time there.
    If you have some time with Lorin you will definitely feel like part of the family, she's very nice.

    Pics if you get a chance :)

    Yeah I know the stove itself is the same but its still really cool to have the custom details, I haven't kept on up on it much but from what I understand supposed to be real special new model stove too.
    Then you go to factory and check it out, that's great.
    If an employee was going to be buying a Buick. We are building, they would let them follow the car around while it was being built.

    But not just Lorin. She is great, but there are some others there who will also be great. I talked to Mike when buying our stove but Ron and Jamie and Penny are good too as are others; even Tom. :rofl: :lol:

    Unfortunately for me, I was there on a Saturday and Lorin was the only front office staff person there that day.
    I have dealt with Penny online and on the phone, she is very nice as well and Mike was my initial contact person, also a great guy.
