As of 10 a. m....... my long wait for my new Woodstock stove is over! It has been ordered!

It should be all ready to pick up by the end of October!

My hearth is empty and the new stove will be running 24/7 after break in.
 
Good to hear!! Let us know how it works out after you have a few fires under your belt!!
 
I'm interested in how the stove works out. You must be one of the first to buy the stove. I just checked their website and it isn't listed yet

Go to their site and look all the way down to the bottom left hand corner and click on "Progress Hybrid Reservation". The first 250 stoves go for $2400 intro price but they won't be available til end of Oct.
 
Congratulations dpgoalie. For sure we'll be waiting for a review on the stove. Will you be at the Open House?

I will be at the open house, I just haven't decided what day yet.

I am sure many people will be sharing their experiences about the new stove. I have white oak, silver maple, apple, birch and poplar that has been sorted under wraps for two years. I'm excited to try my variety of species.
 
I don't think you realize what you just did. As the first official forum member to have one we will need:

Documentation of burn cycles, pounds per load and what color it is. What species of wood per load. Oh, and your gonna have to get some test equipment, cuz were gonna want to know flue temp vs. stove top, and the ability to measure particulate emissions, etc. :coolsmile:

I will be happy to keep you all posted. As far as the equipment goes...... I'll need someone to lend me some.......

I'm wondering what my burn times will be with pressure treated 4x4's cut at 22 inches with that cat down low........... just kidding
 
Congrats DP!! I think that's gonna be one hellava stove! Look forward to seeing it..

Not to hijack, but I'm right there with you. I put my deposit down this morning. Unfortunately, my wood situation is not quite as good. I just moved in in December but I do have 3.5 cords that has been c/s/s since March and April. Luckily, it is 98% half-dad ash so I should be OK this winter. I already have a 2 cord jump on 12/13. We will have to compare notes as I suspect I will have different results this year due to wood.

What color cast you are you getting? I (wife) am undecided.

i have 17 dry cord I am moving into the new wood shed once I put the roof on. I'm excited to move it all in.

I am going with black and i will be heading up to West Leb. to select my stone in the next couple of weeks.
 
Nice, dpgoalie! I wish I could go to the factory. Alas, I'm not going to make it. My theory is that the first 250 stoves are going to be the best of best with the most beautiful stone ever. ;-)

If you don't mind, what's your chimney set up and house size? I have an interior masonry, clay-lined chimney that is around 30 feet. I'm going to give it a shot before lining. I'm around 1,600 square-feet.
 
Why is it called a hybrid?

I get a mental picture of it burning 2 hours on a battery and another 8 on wood if you need to heat that long.
 
The name is definitely my least favorite part of the stove. When people ask which stove I bought, the conversation goes like this: " I bought a Woodstock" they say "cool, which one?" I reply, " the new one".....

I can't even bring myself to saying it....
But, a name is just a name, I am buying a quality stove from an exceptional company and I would have it no other way. I would never lay down money for a new Defiant just because I think the name is great.

It has both a Cat and secondary burn tubes to my understanding.

Congrats to those who get this one, sure looks like it will be a nice stove.

I'm also getting one - charcoal. 2400 sq ft drafty old farmhouse. Wood situation is marginal - 2 cord c/s/s since May 2010, 8 cord cut 18 m ago, but split and stacked late May, early June 2011 (surprisingly this is testing in the 18% to 22% range on a new split). 16 cord due to arrive within the next month for 2012/2013 season and 2013/2014 season. Are you guys going with the ash pan?

I think your wood situation ranks a bit higher than 'marginal'.

I haven't decided yet. I'm waiting to see an actual stove put together first. The ash pan looks so huge and prominent on the images. They told me one could be added later very easily, so if I don't like the way it looks I might just go with ash shoveling for at least a while until (and if) I get tired of it.

Do you think we'll get to see an actual stove before the first batch is built? I can't believe I'm buying one based just on CAD drawings (which I find hard to picture what the stove will really look like from that), but I have that much faith in Woodstock. I've loved everything they've designed so far. However, that doesn't prevent me from worrying that there's a first time for everything :roll: I try to divert my mind from worrying by trying to imagine how the heck I'm going to switch the legs for the plinth base if I can't stand the legs.

I suspect we'll see real images of the stove within the next week or two based on the recent updates of the blog.

I've been wondering about the ash pan option. I wonder if you go without if they replace the slotted cast iron bottom grate with fire brick or soapstone and also if it changes the size of the fire box? I know on my Keystone I could remove that slotted grate and place 3 fire bricks on the bottom and change the fire box size from 1.4 to 1.8cu ft. If they are similar the new stove could jump up from 2.75 to about 3cu ft fire box? Anyways I like the ash pan so much more than shoveling out the old Fireview the Keystone is staying the way it is.

Yeah, I took it out and 3 standard sized fire bricks layed right in there and gave me about 2" talller fire box. That gives you about the same size box as the Fireview but the Keystones cat is a tad smaller so I don't know if that would make a difference or not. Maybe I'll do a test this year and see what happens.

Which means the Keystone probably puts out as much heat as the Heritage.

Could be, you might want to measure that heritage fire box of yours, I think you will find it much smaller than advertised.
