Agree on the cleaning, does the frame come apart easily?
One of the things I note with this stove is it doesn't run up real high STT, for me. With my Fv , which I can't help compare it to since it's sits...
When I open the door on my Fv or my AS, I first make sure to disengage the CAT, then secondly I just crack the door for a moment, to let the air...
After the discussion in the Woodstock Stove Owners Poll, I thought I'd start a similar thread to the Ideal Steel thread regarding the Absolute...

Same here in Massachusetts. Warmer than usual. I've had the Absolute going a bit just to tinker with it, and I got the Fireview going one night as...
That's what I'm worried about my friend!!
I started burning in 1979 when I built my place and couldn't afford the oil in the first oil crises. Somewhere along the way, I got some pay...
Very much like the Vermont Castings Resolutes of the late 80s to early 90s. I had one of those and top load is great! For some reason the VCs were...
WOW! Lot's of exotic bikes in the crew. :)
