I am thinking of going to the Equinox...many of you know that I have the VC Defiant NC with the Everburn feature. I have "kind of" figured out how to get it going but am also feeling that I have more to do than attend a stove in all my off work time.
The thing I am wondering, because the Equinox is a bit over my requirement, is how the soapstone will perform with a bit smaller burns. I'd go with the Mansfield but I want the side door...
What do you think? Hope the info on the external temp item helps some...
