As some of you know from my few previous post's I'm looking to install a woodstove in my home. I was pretty sure the F500 Oslo was going to be my stove until I brought the wife with me to look at them. Right away she gravitated toward the Hearthstone Heritage. When I started researching stoves I didn't bother with soapstone due to the cost. However, the wife liked the elegant look of soapstone enought to justify spending the additional money. All of my research was geared toward Jotul and I fully comprehend how nice the Oslo is but now I have to decide between the Oslo or the Heritage. The wife wants the Heritage I want whatever is the better stove. Any suggestions are welcome and FWIW I will using the search feature as well.
