Hello all,
I have been reading this site for quite some time now and have learned a great deal. I have a Meredith Fireplace Insert in my fireplace and really don't know anything about the history of the company or other models. I'm sure they must be out of business now as I can't find anything on them. Does anyone know much about the Meredith company? I have done a search but not much came up.
It doesn't matter toooooo much anymore as I am upgrading this year. but still curious.
I just put my order in for a Woodstock Fireview after wanting one for about 2 years. I have read many of the posts about soapstone vs. cast iron and cat vs. non-cat and the bottom line came to be, I really like that stove, and the good reviews that it and the company has received from many of you members. All in all I am EXTREMELY excited about my new stove. My wife and I are going up to Lebonon to visit the factory in the next couple weeks.
Just like all of you I enjoy cutting my own firewood. I don't have much land but cut off my parents and grandparents land which is plentiful. I am one of the guilty "un-educated" wood burners who put off cutting, splitting, and stacking way too late. I only recently learned just how important it is to use such seasoned wood. I made a promise to myself to get ahead this year for next burning season. I have a lot to do! I need to build some firewood storage, get my new stove installed, and I may build a new hearth for it. I know there are plenty of posts on here for me to catch up on and I look forward to learning how to do my projects by reading on this forum.
I also love using the tractor's to get firewood and have a band sawmill that a friend of mine and I own. I enjoy about any aspect of the woods and am learning timberframing now. I love taking a tree down, milling it, using it for timber framing, and then burning the parts I can't use. My only problem now is I hate burning any straight section of trees! :lol:
Anyways I won't babble any longer, just introducing myself and I hope to start posting a lot more. I'm pretty frequent over on the forestry forum but for any woodstove or wood burning needs I am here! It would be great if anyone could tell me anything about the Meredith stoves.
Thanks for a great forum with an incredible amount of knowledge.
