Does anyone know if there are any design options for the shape of the legs on the Steel stove. I do not mean the soapstone piece of the steel design over the soapstone. I mean the actual shape. Right now, I am leaning towards two Steel stoves instead of the PH and Steel. But I am still not sure of the design of the stove and how it would look in the living room. Anyone have any info on this?
Here's what Lorin said in a prior thread about the removable leg covers: The beauty of the Ideal Steel stove is that it is infinitely customizable. The leg fender isn't a structural part, making slight changes quite easy. It's a matter of revising a file and cutting a custom set. So, if one really wanted a straight cut instead of an arch, we could do that without much difficulty. Sorry papadave, the door handle stays on the wrong side! Lorin Day Woodstock Soapstone Co. I suspect if enough customers voice a preference for a squared off (non-arched) leg cover, or a different shape over the soapstone insert, they would eventually include that in the set of options.
Also they don't have to include the soapstone insert at all, or any cut out where the soapstone would be in the leg covers, making the leg covers even better at setting up a convection current. (That would give you a two inch space on each side for a fan of some sort.)
I'm not sure if I want the soapstone or not. I think I do. I am also unsure if I would use any fans at this point. If they offer one, and it can be connected to the stove, I would go for it. But, I don't think I would set up stand alone fans. If a fan become important to me, I will go with a Princess in living room but would still go with the Steel in the kitchen. The King will have a fan.
