hi again,
Thanks for all the information on this site.. I'm really becoming educated in a hurry!
At first I thought I'd just need a big firebox.. but then I saw the soapstone stoves.. and I's gots to get me one of them!
So.. 2 companies to choose from.. first I went to Woodstock's website, and have nearly read all their articles.. very well laid out, informative, etc.
Then I went to HearthStone.. and did the same..
Not so many articles.. and I didn't like how they constantly refer the customer to the person who sold the stove.. but the biggest eye-popper for me was under FAQs it says that most building codes will allow a woodburning stove in the bedroom... is this right? (I've noticed that several replies to stove-in-bedroom inquiries on this board alluded to NOT putting stoves into bedrooms).
So, the good people of this board are mistaken, HearthStone has had a typo, or HearthStone is trying to appease the masses by telling them that "most codes" will allow it, but individual areas vary.. therefore when someone finds out THEIR code won't allow a firebox in their bedroom, they feel slighted by their own overbearing local government...
