Production Woodstock IS

What is all over the top of your stove?

 

If I remember right, that is 'Mrs. TurboDiesel's leavins'.

Mrs TD likes putting one gallon of water in the pot at a time.
Then it boils dry leaving more and more lime deposits till the pan is coated nice and thick. As the last 1/4" of water boils off, it forms a crust that boils and bubbles. The bubbles pop and shoot specks of white goo all over.

 

The insulated floor protection is 6” from the sides and rear and 16” from the loading door with an r value of 0.41 or greater.

The side clearance to cumbustibles is actually 19” reducible to as low as 12” with proper construction and air gaps. With only 6” of air gap, the construction of that masonry and any combustibles within it is going to be critical.

DBoon!!!!
Being a bass player myself I am a longtime Watt fan and DBoone is a huge part of Mike's very being.

Welcome aboard - I am a newbie here also but absolutely 100 % endorse this community - good people, good advice, great knowledge base.

 

My wife has created several delicious stove top meals.... beans with bacon ends is my favorite!

 

Just talked to Donna today and my stove should be shipping out this week!!
She also said they have now gone with one grate design and all ideal steels come with the same bigger slotted grate that the Absolute steel has.

 

Congrats!

I believe the grate design change was made 2+ years ago, or is there a newer third grate?

 

Congrats! Best of luck with the stove and I hope you like yours as much as most of us seem to (and I know I do) like ours.

As far as I know, there are only the two grates, the original supplied with the I.S. and the second, identical but with bigger slots supplied with the A.S. I ordered the later grate for my I.S. but then cancelled that order when they actually went into production and were only about 1/16" wider slots than the I.S. They may have changed them again though, and I too would be interested in hearing about a grate that fits and I.S. but has slots at least 1/8" or better, 3/16" wider.

We picked ours up Monday after Easter 2016, so a bit less than 2 years ago and I am pretty sure we have the larger slits compared to the beta and early production stoves. I’d pull out the calipers and measure, but it is a little warm in there at the moment.

 

Hey stumplifter you are the first one to ever get the reference...Double Nickels on the Dime - best album ever! I don't play bass, but if I did, I'd want to play like D. Boon.

 

Ah that explains why Donna was a little confused when I asked her about it then.

 

Old stove is out! Picking up the new stove Monday and hopefully have some pics to share Monday night!!

 

An empty hearth seems so out of place.

Hope you enjoy the new stove. Look forward to some pics.

New stove is in and first fire is on its way!!

Very happy with it so far

 

Very nice !
You probably won't need the damper in the flue

 

Looks great on that hearth.
Enjoy!!

Very nice, and the best of luck with it. I think you will be happy with the stove and will enjoy many hours of heat from it as well as enjoy using and looking at it.

A nice install too IMO.

Looks great....

How many inches out does the side rack protrude from side 'leg shield'?
Thinking of getting one but have limited space.
