    Final Decision (indecision!) between Jotul F55, Hearthstone Shelburne or Manchester, and Woodstock Ideal Steel

    Hi Folks! Coming in for a landing on a final decision about my stove purchase :). Based on all the feedback on this forum I think I'm going to stay away from the F500 Oslo v3. I don't really want to spend that much money on a new stove and potentially have to do things like plug the ashpan...

    Cat issue with Woodstock Keystone?

    We've had a Woodstock Keystone stove since 2010. We LOVE it! Two years ago in 2018 I ordered and installed a new metal catalytic converter to replace the older ceramic one. The ceramic one was starting to crack and disintigrate. The metal cat worked just fine for a couple years. This season it's...

    Warped firebox on Progress Hybrid?

    I picked up a used Progress Hybrid and this is my first year burning in it. It really wasn't used, it sat in a guy's living room for 3 years and he never burned in it or even completely assembled it! I called Woodstock and made the recommended upgrades including a metal brace to the rear of the...

    Help me upgrade and upsize my wood stove!

    Hi all, A month ago I had my chimney lined and installed a little Jotul F100. I knew it was way undersized for my home, but due to mantle clearance issues, this was what worked, and I figured the main thing was getting the liner done well and then I could reassess the stove situation (plus I...
