    Had a little bit of noise as it started up, but has been completely quiet since it got going.

    My wife did the color choice and selected the cut-outs. We are both very pleased with how it came out.

    Options are the name of the game. My wife opted for the gears rather than more dogs. They are just sitting on top (with a centering stud), and could easily be lifted off. We have a request in for another design, but our priority was to get our hands on the stove foremost, and trimmings were secondary.

    Can you get it without any design and no center stud?

    You hit the nail on the head pretty fast last night!

    Sitting at 450 degree stovetop. Pretty good breeze outside. The highest temp I see on the forecast for the next 5 days is 25 degrees, so we won't be doing much for low and slow burns for a while.

    Hi BrowningBAR,
    The quick answer is you can anything you want on the top, sans burner, round burners, or any design, any color, etc.

    The stud is an allen screw, so at the least you could easily modify it to be flush.

    {edit: too slow!}

    I just read a few specs on woodstock, major league burn times.

    Six pieces of maple in the box, air nearly completely closed (20 degrees out with steady breeze), stove top at 500, oil furnace shut off once the guys left and kitchen ceiling temp has reached 90 degrees.

    Bought a set of quick disconnect forks for my Kubota last year after having a quick mount set up added and my bucket quick attach brackets welded on as well.. Those forks are worth every penny... Allowed me to unload my Fireview from my truck and bring it around to the back entrance porch of my house setting the pallet and stove right onto a dolly... When it came time to swap the Fireview out for the PH, same thing, loaded it right back into my truck, sweet! .. PH got in the house the same way... Forks are my friend!

    You've got almost twice as much flue height as I do with your interior lined chimney so you should be able to pull off some really good long burns if you like. :fire::thumbs:

    Once you get the PH back up and running along with the Steel Stove, I'd say your going to have some serious BTU's floating around in your house :thumbs:

    Low slow burns are sometimes over-rated.
    Getting a good 12 hour burn, in cold weather, with enough heat output
    to keep your house warm is the main performance standard.

    New stoves going in all over the place.
    Way to go!
    House that size should be able to give it some serious testing at these temps :)

    You got a good supply of dry hardwood ?

    Definitely. (I wanted to do one for proof of concept but I don't burn that way in general.)

    That could very well become a universal standard - but I don't know how many stoves could actually achieve it.
