Woodstocks New Blog And New Stove Info

[Todd]

It will be interesting to see what happens. After I win the Fireview, I think I will trade it in on one of the new stoves. Hopefully, they will be able to cut down their rear clearance requirement.

Who said it would be a Fireview they're giving away? Could be the new stove. Oh, and they probably already ripped up and threw your app away since you sent your stove back. Better chance for me to win! :lol:

Yeah, you're probably right. ;-P

Amen on Woodstock hopefully cutting down on the rear clearance issue. Woodstock was on my short list, but having to put it so far out into my living room was a deal breaker.

It is my impression that Woodstock believes in building stoves for hearth mounting. I think that's why all of their stoves are able to vent to the rear, and none have a front door. Makes it easy to plop one down in front of many a fireplace without extending the hearth. Rear clearance is not an issue in this type of install, so I would be surprised if the new stove had a lower rear clearance.

New stove is 50% larger than the Fireview. . .

Called it. *cough*Winner!*cough*

...just that it will go with a lot more home styles than their classic design.

I think this is a good move. The Fireview is a great burner, but the castings look so darn gothic or victorian. A more contemporary look with some New England style would be just fine.

Anyone have any pictures?

No pictures because the final design is not yet complete but they are working hard on it.

I'm not certain on this but I think the new stove might be exit through rear or top. Your choice.

Wonder what she'll weigh? Sounds like it will be somewhere between the Mansfield and Equinox, probably much more efficient. It will be too big for my house, guess I need to sell this one and build a new house around the new Woodstock. %-P

The new stove or my wife that Dennis and I were discussing in the previous thread?

 

[Backwoods Savage]

You mean the one I will be winning?

The stove or my wife?

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Well, I have both a stove and wife but I figure on trading the wife for a couple of 20 year olds. The stove will probably stay though.

More info. New stove will vent 6" top or rear, clearances will be determined by an independent lab later on but they don't think they will be any closer than other stoves. Also doesn't look like the new stove will be ready for this burning season.
