About a month ago I broke down and finally bought a Homested. After looking at them every fall for probably the last 3 years. I was concerned with the soapstone taking longer to heat up. But with the temps getting into the 20's at night it's been pleasant to wake up to a 70 degree house. So far we are really happy with the stove. I just want to thank everyone for their input both with my specific questions and reading other peoples threads.
Thanks Dan
