    I know the mortar isn't pretty. And the block is all sorts of multicolored but the anchor plate is anchored down. The seams are all siliconed shut. First fire this evening. I know the manual says 250 then cold. But it's been holding 350 for the past 3 hours. Come on tomorrow morning so I can get the second firing underway.

    Hey I like the look of that stove - exactly same color as ours. Can't quite see in the pic, ash pan or not? Our burn-ins took a few more mild burns than I expected, but it got there. It's a pretty big heavy unit, ain't it?

    You'd better not be burning "number 2" in that stove! :bug::jaw:

    That might stink a bit! :rofl: :lol:;)

    Sorry, goofy humor, :loco: :crazy: but couldn't resist. :D

    Congrats chance04 on your new stove! Nice looking hearth too! BTW which stove do you own? If you update your signature it will save answering the same question..

    Really I don't recognize it.. Maybe because it's sideways? Must be hard to keep water in the pot!

    My apologies. I thought I had updated it. It's a new ideal steel from wood stock
