When she came home and seen it in the basement in one piece she said you are crazy !If you like wood stoves, art and performance you will love it. the weight is some what of a challenge, the rest is just heat shield plates and the legs. Im sure the ash pan would be simple, the instructions are good ones, wrote step by step. Your wait will be worth it. Thanks, Todd
Lots of cast and stone, slower than a steel stove but puts off heat alot longer after the intense part of the fire dies down.
Hi Hollow, they really are nice, I dont get tired of looking at it either.
Looks and performance, You get them both dont you ! Seems like all the fly ash stays to the center part of the screen. Todd 2
Thankyou kindly Sir, I really wish I could have installed it upstairs, just not practical though. It is the best looking thing in my basement though, even better than my 55" HD TV down there
+1. You are crazy!
So much for my "charcoal" guess. Doh! It's hard to get a handle on these metallic paint colors. . .so dependent on lighting, but yeah, yours is pretty cool looking.
It looks like the bottom of your stairwell is unwalled. Ours is like that and hot air rolls across the ceiling and collects at the top of the stairs. If your stove is in the same room as the stairs, you'll probably get plenty of heat upstairs.

I know now why Woodstock owners like to talk about their stoves
Thanks for all the complements, the Woodstock stoves really are a work of art, they are put together unlike any stove Ive seen before, the mixture of cast and stone is super solid and heavy duty. The pictures of them don't do them any justice till you see one in person.
I could not get any pics or video of the down the steps adventure, I tackled it myself with no one here so if I lost it they couldn't see me cry. lol 2x10's 3/4" plywood. some 3/16" steel plates. ropes. and a 2000# battery winch off a pontoon boat trailer and heavy duty rented refrig. dolly. It was one heck of a looking contraption....... that worked
Some one wandered about the color, it is metallic blue and it is a neat color, in different lights it looks gray, green, blue, pretty cool looking.

I'd almost pay money to see that after my adventure, start with the plan now, you'll need one my friendYou guys think going down the stairs was hard/bad, wait till I post what I will be doing to get my Progress UP three flights of stairs!
Plenty of heat, I packed it full last night at 8:00 because it was going down to low 20's (wanted to see what it would do ) cracked the air just a tad from closed, 550 top temp 350 pipe temp, at 6:30 am it was 78 upstairs and 82 in basement and still had 1/4 load left to burn. Man I have some learning to do and I didn't even get into my prize stash of locust yet. Ive learned you give them a little time and they will put out the heat, and more, and more...+1. You are crazy!
. . .but sometimes a beautiful stove will make a man do crazy things! It sounds like you thought out your contraption pretty well, and it clearly worked, so. . .Go Todd!

Thanks Rob, right at 15" from the back of the stone to the back side of the glass protectors ( what ever they call them things ) 20" length splits gives you 1" clearance on the ends.
Thanks Scotty, It does give some awesome secondary shows, I also installed 23 ft of rigid liner insulated all in one section, used the TV antenna tower with a pulley and rope ( its about 4 ft from the chimney ) that had the horns honking when cars drove by. I was too deep in thought to remember to get a pic of that
Thanks Guy, wish I could have put it upstairs with a better looking hearth type set up. I got it for the performance side of it, didn't know how good they looked ordering sight unseen.
You have excellent taste!I feel that it would be a great choice for a older home, drafty lacking modern insulation factors. ( like mine 2000 sq ft basement & upstairs combined) Being a half cat. stove you can control the low burn rate with wood load size an draft, plus you can really make alot of heat when it really dips down cold. Im still learning how to control my heat output but so far I am super impressed.
