Hearthstone Mansfield Installation (pics and comments)

Yeah, you're pretty close to what I want to do. I'm looking for floating soapstone panels only on the sides. I figure they'll soften that plain steel radiant heat and will keep the temp in the immeadiate area of the stove more bearable.

Also, I'm working with a much different air chamber than usual so I'll be able to get good convection heat flow off the stove as well.

Corie,

If for some reason, can't imagine what that might be, you find yourself down around Lynchburg Virginia you might want to check with these folks about Virginia soapstone.
