First Fire in My New WS Ideal Steel Stove

[valuman]

Hi All,
After much deliberation I settled on an Ideal Steel for my new shop instead of the Survival Hybrid because the large firebox will make it easier to keep the space warm on fewer loads this winter. I had a less than great experience with the professional installer I had to use in order to receive my $900 rebate and ended up completing the installation myself this morning. Because I needed to offset the thimble due to the framing of the building the inside flue is a bit funky looking, but she's running and I'm happy.

Happy heating season everyone!

Looks good! I have an IS too, burning it right now as I write this! It heats my 2100 sq ft home very nicely from Oct to May and depending on the winter I will use roughly 5 cords, maybe a bit less burning 24/7. I burn a bit of everything hence the slightly higher cord usage.
