Wood Burning Stoves

Taking out the bar and putting in an island is something I could do. Load bearing walls or a add on is beyond my pay grade. LOL

I bought one almost exactly like that, NyBoy.

It was years ago and a rental home. Heat was electric or a fireplace. I ended up living there much longer than I expected because of health problems interfering with other plans.

Two stories, the upstairs could be very warm, living room freezing! What's to worry about? Nice fireplace, build a fire --- upstairs tropical! Also, the fireplace was terribly inefficient.

I put doors on the hallway to stairs. A piece of sheetmetal closed the fireplace. A stovepipe passed through the sheetmetal ... turned out that there was very little room on the hearth for a stove. Further, a pedestal-type was too high. I no longer had the Ashley from cabin days but it would never have fit!

I didn't ever have any pots on the stove and closing off that stairwell probably made more difference in comfort but I could maintain a small fire in that stove and have a warm living room.

I don't even know what to say to this post. I bet you never read any directions.

In my defense I grew up in a city. I can spot a crackhead 2 blocks away.

Never buy cast iron. When hot, water will crack the stove.

Good tip but aren't they all made from cast iron?

I have a soap stone woodstove. It has iron parts too. We did have a ceramic stove crack along the back from heat. I don't remember how old it was but, pretty old.

Make sure you get expert advice on the size of your stove for the room it is in.

No. Air tights are made of steel.
