New Install - Hearth Help

[tifferstwo]

Ah, the Rangeley F50 is also one that I wrestled with. I liked the fact that it's a convection stove. In the end I felt I couldn't go wrong with either stove so we went with the one we liked the most, aesthetic wise. The Jotul F500 Oslo Clean face. Unfortunately I still haven't installed it, which is actually ok since we're having a crazy warm fall and winter, so far. 62 today

I like the arches on the door. We are having a warm winter as well, and we are lacking the snow we usually have. Although we are in a cold snap at the current moment and it's 0 out. We will hopefully be purchasing and installing en doc December and beginning of January, we have a bit of work to do to the hearth.

Yes the wife likes the enameled ivory but that puts me $1000 more than the matte black stove... not going to happen I'm the cheapest person alive, so...

Ha!! Maybe you should meet my wife...she likes that kind of thinking. But me...I splurge and fight through the brain turmoil.....you know...those words..."man...that's a whole but load of cash!" ........the other day...my wife stated with a smile while looking at the stove, "ya know....the ivory was the right choice."

For our set up, ivory was the best. Needed to be a brighter/lighter color....in any instance...these Jotuls are unmatched for design and beauty...but there are definitely other performers out there...I'm partial to Jotul...but all stoves have their issues. My main complaint with the Jotul Oslo I just purchased was that they never shipped the little nuts that secure the wooden nobs to the end of the door handles!! The screws and washers and the sleeves were there...but no nut. Too much effort to complain...trip to hardware store and all is well.

Tiffers, we ended up getting the 500 Oslo in matte black and let me just say it's a beautiful stove. The black actually looks very rustic and perfect. We are very happy.

Congrats Enjoy that stove.
