BDF, regarding the structural stuff, it's definitely very important and what you wrote here is a good reminder. Not sure if you saw my earlier...
Yeah Chaz, I guess I made a lot of good arguments for the hearth pad! Thanks for putting that into perspective for me! :rofl: :lol: Seriously,...
As I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row, I'd love to know if any of you have any thoughts on this hearth pad (see link below). I know it's not...
Good news...I have a close friend who's husband is a contractor and he came over today to look at my floor/basement ceiling under where the stove...
Hey Gark , I love what you wrote here! This makes a lot of sense! Kind of like when you get a fresh haircut and you look a little strange at first...
Does all that stuff come off easily? Did you put the legs back on while it was still on the dolly in the place you were putting it? I have four...
Wow Chaz, that is a great looking setup! The copper really pops! Nice! Did you do the install yourself or hire someone? How did you move and...

Thanks! I also just called Woodstock, and it turns out that it's about 640 or so with the soapstone. The 740 number was the shipping weight. I...
The Absolute would only cut it if I could cut it! The legs are a little too long, and put the flue on the rear exit too high for my opening...
Thanks fishingpol! I too have my popcorn out and am sitting at the edge of my seat! The Ideal Steel is listed on Woodstock's site as 620 pounds,...
Thanks Unhdsm! This is very helpful info! Right now I feel like the only time I feel the warmth from my little Jotul F100 (which in fairness is...
