    Fireplace Romance PLUS Clean-Burning Efficiency[​IMG]

    Settle down in front of the perfect fireplace alternative. The Keystone has one of the largest unobstructed view of the fire in the Woodstock Soapstone Wood Stove lineup. And, the window is kept clean by double insulated glass and an airwash. You get the maximum heat output for each pound of wood you burn, and a pleasantly large and clear view of the fire. Your home will always be warm and comfortable.

    I THINK THIS WILL BE THE ONE!!!! For only having to heat about 700sq ft..This is will be great!!!

    A neighbor down the road has one sitting on his hearth ready to burn but they use geothermal heat. The couple that lived in the house previously loved the stove and couldn’t say enough good things about it. I have tried to justify buying it but realize I don’t have a place for it. Just a mild case of stove addiction.

    Some really love it. I see nothing wrong with the stove but I just don't like the looks of it and much prefer the Fireview.

    I like the top vent option. Nice looking too. I'd consider it also, especially for the burn times.

    I've been running a keystone for 5 years, and its a great little stove. The only gripe I have is unlike the fireview, its a bit of a pain to pull the cat for a midseason cleaning. Its twice a year I need to deal with it, so a small price to pay. I'm heating about 1400 sq ft, and anything bigger would cook me out.
