Production Woodstock IS

Interesting. Any thoughts on what's causing the noise?

 

Sorry Fanatical, late to the game here. My stove is due at the terminal on Tuesday. I cannot wait to get it. I still have to get the gas logs pulled out and the zero clearance insert out but getting ready to start that asap. Stove might have to sit in the living room corner for a few days until I get everything lined up.

 

Did it sound anything like this?


I got a lot of pings and ticks and tings when the stove was heating up fast.

 

Is that the beta Bri?

 

Yep, video from last winter. The new stove is not installed yet.

 

Well guys,
I've never seen anything like this. I threw a couple splits in the fire before going to bed last night (50 overnight). It was about half full. 8 hours later she's still chugging away. I opened the primary and got a flame show. I need it to burn 10 hours while I'm at work during the winter. I think it will do the trick! That was all soft/ half rotted wood too!

 

Your teasing me JA!

 

Not if it's anything like the Progress Hybrid. I put only a half load in last night at 10 pm with punky/unidentifiable wood I scrounged earlier this summer from our woods, plus a piece of cherry, and came down at 7:30 to a 250 degree stove top, hot coals and a big chunk of wood still in the firebox. Couldn't believe it! I'm assuming the IS will perform similarly. Guess I'll see soon enough.

 

I'm sure I'll let you know (and the rest of of FHC) when the time comes. I have one week to go.

 

I'll see a bit closer to home - like in my kitchen! Cutting it kind of close and wrapping up the hearth tomorrow night, picking up Tuesday. Luckily I'm on vacation this week, so plenty of time to play with. Gonna be great to use that cooktop in the winter.

 

Thanks Dennis. And I'll post plenty of pics, otherwise, of course, it didn't happen.

 

The bird has landed!

My oldest, Evelyn, with one of the designers of the IS, Ken

Lewis - I felt like I was meeting a celebrity. Heck of a nice guy.

Had time to wander around - Evelyn gets an artsy photo of the andirons awaiting homes


Load her up! Just fit.

Jamie helped us out a bunch, as did Lorin and others. Great bunch of folks, and looking forward to the install!

 

Awesome photos @burndatwood !

 

Yep, great pics!
Waiting on the rest.

 

How is the hearth project coming?

 

Thanks Brian and Dave! All the credit for the great shots should go to Evelyn, who has the aptitude, interest and ability to take photos, which I sorely lack. Excellent day, and glad to share it with her!

 

Just wrapping it up tonight - thanks for asking. Second one was much easier than the first, since as with many things, you learn how to save a step or two after you've done something once. She's looking a bit lonely without that stove on her though.

 

How are you getting the beast out of that van?
