Gonna cruise through winter I think.
Little hint. When you pick the top up pull it forward and tilt the back down. If you don't the dripping condensation will make a real mess on the top of a beautiful stove.

That's the plan! I've got to stay out of that store. Or just not bring my wallet with me when I go!

I know. The owner of the local stove shop called me "his favorite customer" the other day. Except he said that because I buy the really good stuff that nobody else has bought that has sat in his inventory for years. Until he marked it down to zip and I walked in. I am starting to think I am his junk man. Except I actually use the stuff.

Our choice of moisturizer is/was a typical cast iron water pot with spout. Don't forget the commensurate EcoFan on the top of the stove, either!!

I have a traditional cast iron tea pot. It made a mess and turned everything white with the residue, without any real impact on humidity. It now sits on the hearth for decoration.
As BB stated that condensation can make a real mess.
Still neat lookin!

I see your stove pipe is inside the Oslo, reason I asked I havent hooked mine up yet . Until I finish Hearth, but the one on showroom floor was outside. Does it need gasket shoved down? If it doesnt leak I like yours better.
Sorry to change subject, nice looking boat and stove.

Not really sure if it is supposed to go inside or out. It doesn't leak though. Me and my brother hoofed the stove into my house wich wasn't easy. I told the stove shop to hook it up. That was the deal with my wife. Have the people who know what they are doing hook it up so the house doesn't burn down.

My big cast iron kettle has been in the basement for fifteen years. It didn't do anything but make a mess and irritate me. Thanks for reminding me. I have some scrap to take in this week and that kettle is going with it.

You want it to go inside. So if anything runs back down the chimney it goes into the stove. Not on the stove or on the hearth.

No issues with the condensation making a mess of the stove . . . but I also use a trivet which allows the steamer to humidy the place without forming a lot of visible steam.
I have two tea pots one from a old VC stove and a cheap Ikea whistler. The whistler is kind of eerie late at night when the water level get low the pot will start gently talking. I'd like one of those ships or maybe a locomotive. Any ideas on how to remove the white mineral build up off stone?

For a minute when I first read the title of this thread I thought you had traded the Oslo for a sailboat and a trip to the Bahamas to escape the cold.

Note that when you install double wall on a cast iron flue collar, the outer wall will go outside the flue collar and obscure those bolts. The inner single wall goes inside of course in all cases.
