I'm gonna have to change my picture. The Dutch west now resides on the back porch until I find a buyer
Our maple leafs are similar but I believe chances is the WS art offered by the design center, ours is by the Mrs.
Sadly, I made no progress today with the stove. It still sits sideways on hearth. I did get the rear heat shield and ash lip installed, and the stove pipe exit collar as well
I wanted it turned and sitting in place to start figuring out heights and stove pipe connections. I was stuck outside all day lol the agony
Too hard/unpossible to install heat shield turned the right way. Ya' dun gooder. Tomorrow's another day, unless it isn't. Then, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, when a person has a new woodstove, it can generate some really hot fires in October. Might be a good idea to oil the hinges on the doors first though- they have to be opened a lot to keep the house below 100F. It happened quite a few times at my house last fall.... Brian
I gotta light the first few fires when it's still warm enough to open the windows and vent the place right?
