Backwoods Savage said:Congratulations dpgoalie. For sure we'll be waiting for a review on the stove. Will you be at the Open House?
Jags said:I don't think you realize what you just did. As the first official forum member to have one we will need:
Documentation of burn cycles, pounds per load and what color it is. What species of wood per load. Oh, and your gonna have to get some test equipment, cuz were gonna want to know flue temp vs. stove top, and the ability to measure particulate emissions, etc. :coolsmile:
i have 17 dry cord I am moving into the new wood shed once I put the roof on. I'm excited to move it all in.Waulie said:Not to hijack, but I'm right there with you. I put my deposit down this morning. Unfortunately, my wood situation is not quite as good. I just moved in in December but I do have 3.5 cords that has been c/s/s since March and April. Luckily, it is 98% half-dad ash so I should be OK this winter. I already have a 2 cord jump on 12/13. We will have to compare notes as I suspect I will have different results this year due to wood.
What color cast you are you getting? I (wife) am undecided.

I get a mental picture of it burning 2 hours on a battery and another 8 on wood if you need to heat that long.
HollowHill said:I'm also getting one - charcoal. 2400 sq ft drafty old farmhouse. Wood situation is marginal - 2 cord c/s/s since May 2010, 8 cord cut 18 m ago, but split and stacked late May, early June 2011 (surprisingly this is testing in the 18% to 22% range on a new split). 16 cord due to arrive within the next month for 2012/2013 season and 2013/2014 season. Are you guys going with the ash pan?
Are you guys going with the ash pan?

I haven't decided yet. I'm waiting to see an actual stove put together first. The ash pan looks so huge and prominent on the images. They told me one could be added later very easily, so if I don't like the way it looks I might just go with ash shoveling for at least a while until (and if) I get tired of it.

Do you think we'll get to see an actual stove before the first batch is built? I can't believe I'm buying one based just on CAD drawings (which I find hard to picture what the stove will really look like from that), but I have that much faith in Woodstock. I've loved everything they've designed so far. However, that doesn't prevent me from worrying that there's a first time for everything :roll: I try to divert my mind from worrying by trying to imagine how the heck I'm going to switch the legs for the plinth base if I can't stand the legs.

I've been wondering about the ash pan option. I wonder if you go without if they replace the slotted cast iron bottom grate with fire brick or soapstone and also if it changes the size of the fire box? I know on my Keystone I could remove that slotted grate and place 3 fire bricks on the bottom and change the fire box size from 1.4 to 1.8cu ft. If they are similar the new stove could jump up from 2.75 to about 3cu ft fire box? Anyways I like the ash pan so much more than shoveling out the old Fireview the Keystone is staying the way it is.

That's interesting. I did not know that.

Yeah, I took it out and 3 standard sized fire bricks layed right in there and gave me about 2" talller fire box. That gives you about the same size box as the Fireview but the Keystones cat is a tad smaller so I don't know if that would make a difference or not. Maybe I'll do a test this year and see what happens.

Which means the Keystone probably puts out as much heat as the Heritage.
