Oslo installed today in existing fireplace. I needed the short leg kit to make it fit, I was a little worried it would look a little funny with the short legs but I think it looks good.
Funny story about when I ordered the stove, the wife was not present. When I got home she asked me what color I bought. I told her the blue/black. She had never seen it and asked me to describe it. I was at a loss for words. I didnt know quite how to describe it. The best I could come up with was, "It's not shiny black, or flat black, or blue, it's...it's...it's kind of like... Batman's suit?" She rolled her eyes and walked away. After it was installed today she said, "Nice stove honey. I guess you think you have the Batstove now"

Welcome to the "Blue Black Oslo Club"! Install looks great but you still need 18" 'ember' protection in the front but you probably know that.
 
Holy wood stove Batman!

Looks great.
 
Thanks Shari,
The store owner made me "promise" to have the front ember protection installed before I burned in the fall. I have a few months to work on that.

Thats a positive addition to your home. Share some pics with a flame in it when you can. Enjoy!

I'll do that, thanks. In the mean time I'll just stare at Shari's avatar for the next 5 months. Some cool video on youtube also.
 
Very nice.
 
Love it! We just got word that ours is in to the store today. Can't wait until we can pick it up!
 
Yes! Very nice to say the least...I can feel the heat from here
enjoy
 
That looks sweet bro! A little kitschy non flammable stuff around the hearth will pop it off. It looks ++ right now.
 
The stove looks great!
