If the same amount of heat is in the same firebox, where exactly would that heat go? If steel perhaps it all goes into the room but where does it go if soapstone? It certainly can not go up the chimney with the flue temperatures we get with the soapstone stove. So where exactly could this heat go?
I'm curious too. I'd like to see if there would be a difference in flue temps since some believe soapstone acts as an insulator and steel would release more heat?
