My Quad 4300 and DIY Hearth

And the Weather man said onto Micah "Its going to be cold out. Keep your kids warm." And Micah said "LET there be fire!" And it was warm.

Please pardon the crappy image. The only digital camera in the house is my phone. Also ignore the wall behind the stove. We ran out of money before we could put up the slate and stuff.

And after Micah got that butane lighter the heck away from the stove he looked upon his work and said "It is good.".

Nice stove.

Lighter was removed. But it was well out off the clearance to combustables range! Joking. Im really wishing I would have gotten the 5300 for the bigger firebox for the over night burns, but I can still get 12 hour burns with enough coals left to quickly get things going again. Heats my WHOLE house with only minimal effort.
