That princess looks like she's ready to throw some heat! Nice install.

That is one hell of a nice fireplace.

Thanks guys, I burned my first break in fire, Ill post a pic of its first real fire, Im probably going to do 2 or 3 more small fires just to make sure. It was a little more work that we thought, the SS pipe was a tight fit, sort of like trying to put a tux on in an airplane bathroom, but we did it with a little patience and a lot of swearing.
Now, bring on winter, Im Ready!

Exactly what I was thinking. Sometimes I wonder why I'm still heating with wood given all the crappy stoves I've used over the years. All that getting up in the middle of the night, waking up to a cold stove, and constant screwing around with the air intake. With my Princess I find myself trying to come up with excuses to mess with the stove. It feels unnatural to let 10 or 11 hours go by without touching it.

Nice hearth, you are going to have a lot of fun heating with wood this winter I think.

That looks very nice!!
You guys have even us newbies so edjumucated it isn't even funny. I can spot a craigslist deal now from 100yards.

It's a KEJ King for $300.
That monster is way too much stove for me to handle. Too bad it's not an insert. Come and get it, Va. (or NC) boys!

You are gonna be the talk of the town with that beast. Not too many of us out east with those. That looks nice and you'll need it. It is a different climate where you are, even though we are only 1-2 hrs away.

An awesome way to start your wood burning experience. Congratulations and may all your wood be DRY. ;-) Install looks wonderful.

Did a second burn tonight, no smell after the first one but got the nasty smell from the second burn. The house smells like it does after a night when I have a few beers and hit Taco Bell, at least I can blame the stove for awhile :lol:

That is a damn fine looking hearth. Damn fine.

Did you take it in the shorts on that Princess or did you find a dealer ready to deal?
