It has begun; have taken the plunge!

[garyh]

It started today; the tile is being laid today the stove and pipe were delivered yesterday (Woodstock Keystone) should have ignition within a week to start to enjoy the rewards that mother nature provides in warmth. Will provide photo's of completed project.

It only spirals out of control from here.

No, No, No. This will not do.
Not only should you provide ongoing install pics, but a running commentary is called for also.
I'm calling for a vote. All in favor of new installs requiring pics AND running commentary.....yay. No dissenting votes allowed. So ordered, All new installs require pics AND running commentary. :coolsmile:

Patience please

 

[PapaDave]

Patience please

Geez,
Well, Ok.
I hope all went well yesterday for you and the installers.

Edit: My impatience has me confusing your install with another. After re-reading your OP, I see the tile is being worked on, and I know that takes some time (days). In process pics would be nice, though. Dang it, there I go again. Patience, Dave, patience. :cheese:

Here are some updates; pictures attached.

Or not.... You tease us.

Sorry am computer challenged and cannot get pictures to upload.

 

[Deron]

Hit preview first after you browse and find them, then post.

Easy way is to use Photobucket to upload the pictures. Then copy the properties and paste in here.

While we wait for the photos...

So what advantages does the keystone offer over the fireview. I see the vertical exhaust as a benefit, I see the larger glass, but then the negatives are the ash pan (yes a negative), much more difficult cat access, and the lower burn times. Both of these stoves have low low output settings which is great.

What are the relative firebox volumes? For some reason WS doesn't like to post this volume.

I post photos right to the site. Easy peasy, just load them one at a time after making sure they are small enough to not exceed the size limits. The first photo upload is super easy.

 

[PapaDave]

Make sure you resize the pics.

 

[garyh]

Been very busy and not had time to work with the photos; soon. The wife liked the looks over the fireview, and the size works for us.

 

[garyh]

Well I have finally attached some photos, should have the first fire tomorrow, so we can cure the paint; then get ready to enjoy Mother Nature's natural fuel system.
Thanks for everyone's input in the process.

Dude!
You installed it on the wall! With the flue going into the basement!
What were you thinking? %-P

Really though, nice setup, and enjoy!

We are trying to heat the basement with this. It is a set up not seen very oftern except for here in Michigan.
