Here's the woodstove all ready for installation. It's a Vermont Castings Intrepid II that we bought at Collette's plumbing in Orleans, VT. We got a nice October rebate. We were told at Collette's that we should start with about 8 cooler "stick fires" before cranking it full bore. It's an efficient little stove with a catalytic secondary burner (a little box that burns all the fumes and particles before sending them up the chimney.
Here I am lighting the inaugural fire. The stovepipe gets really hot, giving us extra heat. I think we've had the requisite number of fires, so we should be ready to crank it really soon. It's a nice compliment to the slab heating. The slab takes about half a day to heat up, so if you need to heat the place up quickly, the wood stove is the way to go.
