I was wondering if anyone knows why the Fireview is built with a small air space between the inner soapstone panels (firebox side) and outer soapstone panels.I think it's only about 1/16" and I thought I read somewhere its to even out the heat but I wonder if it's more about ease of construction. The reason I ask is it seems no air space or a thermally conductive filler would have been a better design, since soapstone is already so slow to respond to thermal peaks. The insulating air space it seems would further delay the heating times and would lower the peak external surface temps. Soapstone already helps even out the heat, the air space just adds to the thermal slugishness.I wonder if they used a thermally conductive material between the panels,the stove would heat up faster and reach a higher operating temp? I guess its just the engineer in me constantly redesigning stuff, but I know a new FV is on the drawing board and this kind of change could be made.
