A "tour" of the new stove - I tried to show it burning and give folks a look around it to show what it looks like...
Reloading with three pieces of Dennis' premium wood... Note the LONG delay before engaging the cat after reload (almost 2 minutes!).
Enjoy.
Speaking of Class!pen said:Great day, the factory was impressive, the food was great, the workers who provided a tour of the establishment were a class act, and the stoves in action were a show. Thanks to Craig for refreshments, and the company of hearth.com folks as well as the people who were there to simply enjoy the day for making it a great time.
It takes some balls to open your shop up to the world to come and inspect, ask questions and basically take free-reign. I couldn't be more impressed.
After seeing it run, I'd have bought a progress myself if I thought I wouldn't be spending the winter in the garage after the wife found out.
Tried like hell to get Mr and Mrs. Gamma to drop a dime on one; but I guess they want to burn their brand new 30 first
Thanks to all for the great time. Couldn't have been better unless the rest of you were here.

Fess up. How many of those pics of me got tossed in a stove? :lol:
mhrischuk said:Couple of questions.
1) Why is it set up with rear exhaust? I pretty much learned here that straight up is optimum. Are they just showing off the "Progress" logo in cast in the block off cover?
2) I noticed in the video when the fellow loaded the wood he used some sort of pliers to open the door even though he was wearing gloves. Is the handle that hot?

mhrischuk said:Thank you. I do have to wonder, is this the first stove that has a special tool to operate it? Can you operate the stove without the tool? If so I would venture to guess that tool will end up in a drawer.

mhrischuk said:They probably added the tool for insurance and liability.

And if you drop the tool on the floor it won't crack... unlike the VC handle.

Many Morso's have a removable door handle. It gets too hot to leave in place.
