I got a killer deal on a bunch of soapstone, so I decided to line my fireplace with it. I hope it will soak up the heat pretty good. I don't need it for heat and don't expect much but I thought it would be a neat project. There is about 500 pounds of stone and refractory cement in it.
My new soapstone lined fireplace.

I like it , one benefit is, I bet it will clean up easily in the off-season a lot better than my brick lined one.
Looks great! Trouble is once you feel the nice even heat that soapstone maintains,,, well ,,,,, we might be seeing a stove in your place with the same material.....

Even if it doesn't do squat as far as heat, it looks top notch.
Well done.

The room is wider than it looks in the pictures, it's about 11' wide. The mantel is a red Oak log, 8' long.
