well going to look at the beauty this weekend . talked to the dealer , he said prices have gone up because of gas prices.trying to figure on what kind of hearth to build? hopefully this stove will throw some heat. i was looking at jotuls for a while and found that they have alot of draft problems and i guess they are even hard to start. the olympic i have heard nothing but great things about. please if anyone has pics of there burning olympic i would love to see them. now after getting my goverment cheese check i will be buying the stove this weekend .
