Haven't been on the forums too much lately, but I hadn't noticed it mentioned in any threads recently that Woodstock Soapstone Company is having an Open House on October 22. I haven't attended for a few years, and not sure I can make it, but it is a great event held by a great bunch of people. I see on the website they are giving gifts to those who RSVP:

I was lucky enough to be a beta tester late last winter for the Absolute Steel, and I just upgraded to an Ideal Steel. I've been really happy in my limited time using both, and am looking forward to a full burning season with the IS. (Been burning dry white pine with great results so far.)
