Feeling the Heat
I think the design of the outer shell is still in transition. There are a couple of versions around the web including:
Ugly is right !
looks like a boiler that belongs in the basement of an old school....lol

It'll never be that ugly lol..
My wife is not fond of the look of soapstone stoves. The PH or Keystone is about as close as she would tolerate. The current design of the Union is too extreme for her tastes too. I hope they're not limiting their sales by the eccentric design.
From what I've heard from the folks at Woodstock, after having install my Progress a couple months ago, is that the Union is definitely a more affordable price-point. I couldn't wait.Oh, I truly hope they are able to bring this to market with a low price point. When/where do we sign up as beta testers?!?
As solid a company as Woodstock seems to be, and as much as I want to own one, I'm not very fond of their designs either. Except the Progress. More understated.
And it's not a soapstone thing either. I think the Hearthstone soapstone designs are excellent. Less ornate.

Is it just me (losing it) or is there no pipe on the stove in the 2nd pic...?
Look closely, rear vent, runs to the left in the picture...
I have yet to see a price on their new stove unless I missed something..I think Woodstock will be back logged on orders for their new stove,,, reasonably priced, a big fire box, a front loader, and all of Woodstocks great service! Think I'm wrong? Well I remember the PH had a waiting list.. Lets say this... when there is pride involved ,, involving a small stove company,, I would say that your are going to see a very unique stove when it's all said and done.. I can't picture Woodstock just coming out with another stove that's like another stove that's already on the market.. Maybe I'm wrong,,, but I think everyone will say wow!
Hey Highbeam, where's the broken link? Is it on the Blog page or our home page? We are working on updates and will post as soon as possible!
From what I was told they are maybe shooting for a 2000 dollar price range.. Maybe it will even be under that..I have yet to see a price on their new stove unless I missed something..

That isn't much less than the FV.. Bottom line buy what works and looks best to you..From what I was told they are shooting for a 2000 dollar price range.. Maybe it will even be under that..
I already got a taste of the stone heat so my sights are on trading up to the Progress Hybrid...One thing I like about the stone,, it's like having storage batteries.. Having a smaller fire that burns down will still produce nice heat life out of the stone,, so your not exposing you room air to a cold steel stove because the fire has been burned down for a while,,, you retain a more positive heat output from the stone.. My Fireview proved that to me.. when my Quadrafire's wood was gone ,, you knew it...by just walking in the room.. So I think their new stove will catch the attention of a person who doesn't care for a stone stove as much...Looks like Woodstock will be appealing to a more diversified group of wood burners... If I'm not mistaking the Union Hybrid is going to have soapstone inside...That isn't much less than the FV.. Bottom line buy what works and looks best to you..

Seems to be working fine on our end. What browser are you using? Anyone else having issues with our site? Let me know and I'll get the entire IT team on it : )Right here:

On the homepage. The "blog" box in the upper right is no worky. The headings are overlapping too. Just needs some tuning. Woodstock has always had a pretty good site with lots of good articles that even apply to non-WS burners.
