Can you give it a marketable name?

I'd buy one of those!

Catchy, and perfect for tapping into the Lord of the Rings market. One stove to rule them all.

Much better than my "Bilbo" idea.

Master Blaster Infero Incinerator Combustor Advanced Duo!

Woodstock Continental ......... suitable heat from Alaska to the deep south!

Adena: Feminine form of English Aden meaning fire

Vesta: Roman myth name of a goddess of the hearth. Latin form of Greek meaning "altar, hearth, fireside".

I like Adena . . . not so sure on the Vesta . . . sounds too close to the Vespa which I associate with Italian scooters.

I like Adena best too

Hey all! I have not been on this site in quite some time. As of last week, we were given the official name. It is known as the PROGRESS HYBRID. We are VERY close to put it into production, pending EPA standardized testing or some jumbo-jumbo yadda yadda... our annual open house is "scheduled" for early October-ish..

And October timing sucks! That is archery deer season... But we know how these things can go.

So true Dennis! A lot of it hinges on when exactly we are 100% ready to unveil our newest breed of wood-burning stove.

I cannot wait to see this thing!

I think you did this on purpose.... Next time I'm there I will bring some matches and try to light some fires under......some folks.

Right on! Remember, I'll be the one having a grand time and probably holding my baby girl.. or rather future stovebuilder... lol

So true.

Looking forward to the details.

She's gorgeous. Given your choice in the name for your new stove, may I safely assume that your daughter's name is, in fact, Future Stovebuilder? We would have helped with that, too, ya know . . . all you have to do is ask . . .

I think the good folks here at hearth.com should have our own poll and give our own knickname to the stove since the Progress Hybrid just doesn't have the same ring to it as Fireview, Palladin, Keystone, etc.

No, I don't think Jake would be a good name for that stove. Maybe Firebuilder Jake?

Sounds like the employee's at Woodstock already have a nickname for it "BMF" Wonder what that stands for? :lol:

Beautiful & Mighty Fine.

Love the stove. Hate the name. It's like Ford's marketing department came up with the name.

Would Edsel be a better name? :lol:


I think they really wanted a different name but decided to change it so they would not have to award me with a new stove.

Someones halfwit uncle come up with that name and no one wanted to hurt his feelings?

How the heck did that make it thru marketing?

Just change it to Stonehenge

I still think the "real" name will be unveiled at their open house, at least I'm hoping so. :lol:

buzzkill

If they can't come up with a good name, the concensus seems to be that they excelled at coming up with a truly lackluster name. I was thinking about this, trying to come up with a poorer one, and really, I just cannot. And now you propose to take that away from us as well? 'Tis a sorry thing, that . . .

I'd been imagining people being asked what kind of stove they bought, and being unable to remember. "I dunno, but it's about this high, and this wide and it works . . . oh yeah, it's a workin' progress stove . . ."

Cant believe you all missed it, call it THE DENNIS
