Great space, but I agree a mantel, or even just a horizontal rough-sawn plank stained a chocolate color with some hand-forged iron hooks, would look great, there.I have some vintage baseball gloves from my grandfather and great grandfather. I don't have any mantel either, although looking back at the layout, I may have put in a shelf or something behind the stove.

Having the tv high is better than low.Mine is looking rather plain.

But that is mainly since I just put the stove in. I need to take another pic since I finished a few more parts of the install (that was on the day of the install a couple weeks ago). I'm thinking with the way I had to rearrange furniture to fit the stove in there that the TV might end up going above the mantle. It's kind of high, but I don't know where else the tv could go.

You could always add one. In your case, a stone shelf would look nice, but so would a pine one stained in Ipswich Pine.Tote full of wood, fireplace tools that never get used, and sometimes a cat is all that's by my stove. I wish when I had the stone put up on the wall I would have had them put a shelf up. You never think of those things till after the fact

I assume you're not leaving it like that when you're away from the stove?Thanks to running out of wood last winter every stick I have is green. I currently have wood drying ON TOP OF the stove. This actually is working, no foaming or sizzling coming from the wood after a few hours at 400 F. I can even watch the ends crack and darken over time.
I have some burner grills from a gas stove, and a hearth grate to hold it up off the stove.
So much for the clearances to combustibles . . .
The Chimney Sweeping Log (CSL), rev.B?This year I am setting up a motorized conveyor belt that goes directly from the woodpile to the top of the chimney. I will just open the bypass and let the wood fall into the stove from the top. Convenience!
