No the hearth pad was pre-made bought from installer. I think its made by American Panel...Great quality though.

I will post some FIRE photos as soon as it chills down a little. It's almost 60 something here.
Maybe tonight....

ah, you sure that ain't photoshopped????

HAHA, just kiddin', that mansfield looks waaaaaaaaay good sittin' there

uh, just to make sure, how's about a pic of your wood pile, you know, just to PROVE you're a wood burnin' fool!

So is that black piece behind the stove the heat shield? I've never seen the mansfield's shield and that one is way bigger than my heritage's.

You even got the stone kettle! Looks great.

Yes...that is the heat shield for the Mansfield. I think the photo makes it look bigger than it does
when your in the room.

Thanks for the kind post! We are defininitly enjoying it.

Hate the stove.... Hope you have wet wood!





Just kidding... I'm a Red Sox fan!

That should keep you warm... Enjoy!

Hi Yanksforever,

I'm near you in southern NH - looking to buy a Mansfield in a few weeks for use during next winter (while the tax credit and winter sale lasts!). I've read a few threads concerned with maintaining burn temps that don't exceed ~ 500 deg. Are you having any problems with the stove getting too hot? Are you tapped into an exterior masonry chimney? How big is the flue? I'm installing mine into a 12 inch flue and I'm concerned about adequate draft. Thanks!

Nice install.

You'll love the soapstone.

Welcome fellow stoner! Very Nice ! You will love the Mansfield. I burn 24/7 and I sure do love mine. You may notice that the colder it gets outside the better this baby works. Early on, when temps are in 60's my glass only cleans it self half a$$ but once temps go below the 60 mark the glass is crystal clean and the temps on the stove really start to climb easily. I installed a stove pipe damper that comes in handy up here in MA when it is really cold and the draft gets crazy. Have to look back at your pics to see if you have a thermometer. If not it is a great investment to have one on the stove top and a probe style in your stack. It's a great tool to quickly perfect your fire burning and stove settings. Let me know how you make out with your ash pan. I have always used a shovel because once you open the grate and swish the ashes down it is a pain to get the grate closed again with little coals and ash jammed in it. But, I recently read how someone leaves their grate open and just empties their ash each day from the pan. After all of this time I just might try this (wish they would clear this up in operating manual). Just have to be sure my ash door is closed good and proper. Enjoy! Looks Great ! Your pad looks like mine except I have a corner one. Thanks for the pics ! Keep um coming
