Obviously a lot depends on your house configuration, and also what temps you are used to. We're lucky because the stove is in our main living...
Without interfering on bb's response, I use mine for everything. Checking for drafts, checking to see where the heat travels in the house, seeing...
I have the Craftsman that I think nofossil has in his pic. It goes up to 1000 degrees. Some only go to 500 or so. You need to look out for that....
Here's the link to my Hearthstone Tribute photo. http://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php?ACT=24&fid=2&aid=1802_1pwcB9F0K1xewsLcM0JU&board_id=1...
Yeah, also nothing worse than realizing that the coal build-up reduces what I can put in. Log doesn't fit, it's already on fire, and I have to...
The stove top broke, so I just bought a laser thermometer on sale at Sears. I love it! If I recall from last year, it ranged from 350-550....
First for the previous question, no there is no heat shield. I didn't have the clearance for that, if I remember correctly. I used to have a...
That was last years picture ! It's the same, only that I need to clean the glass. We're in the Northeast...Rochester, NY. The house is 1490...

Hello again to all. I know that I didn't post that much last year, but I did LOTS of reading and lurking. Thanks to everyone. I have one season...
The only thing that I have to be cautious of is the new puppy that we got about 2 months ago. When we got him, he had a habit of tearing apart...
I would like some kind of notch or numbering system on my Hearthstone's air control lever. It's easier to say "move it to 3", than to say "Move it...
That's a good question, as I had to point out to the installer of my Hearthstone that there was duct tape underneat the stove, which I imagine was...
Sears has a Craftsman infrared thermometer on sale now. $30 off. Reads up to 1,000 degrees. I've been taking readings of everything!
I just got my Tribute going today for the first time. Stove warm to the touch..but is that soapstone on the top? The sides? The cast iron? All...
Thanks guys. Wish I could take credit for the stonework, but it was done about 30 years before my time!
Here's the Hearthstone Tribute that we just had installed. Still need to clean up the stone a bit, especially from where the glass doors were.
I thought that this was important to bring back up at this time of year when people are in the stove buying mood again. I'm having a free-standing...
If you're really interested, you can try www.antiquestoves.com They offer an assessment but it costs $25. I have an old King Oak laying around.
Thanks for posting this, as I'm looking at the same for my fireplace (only the Hearthstone Tribute). Because you are getting the rear flue exit, are...
