Fell in love with the freestanding soapstone stoves. I love the look of the open fireplace as well. How often do you see both next to each other in the same room? I want to add a freestanding stove 2 feet away from the original fireplace. Anyone see this done in the field?
 
It would work fine.
But it would look weird.
 
I don't think I'd do it. No chance of installing the free-stander in the fireplace?
 
My flexfuel gasser handles the house without issue. I just love the look o the stove. A little weird i know.
