Its an old chunk of a gravestone. Soapstone, just thought it was neat. It was at a friends house and his mom knew i loved it, she gifted it to me.
Probably a bed warmer at some point, has a date of 1832.
The slab is leathered granite, i wish it stored heat but not really.
My little man likes the stove. Heats up the granite nicely. Vermont castings, vigilant. Was burning coal in ashlys parents house, now it burns wood. Havent turned on thermostat in over two years, for real.
Hadn't made one yet, Jay. I was speculating for when I get a shop, or garage. I was poking on craigs list after this thread yesterday, and found a real nice smaller Vermont Castings perfect size for a shop. Probably going to look at it Monday.
Ahh, I love wood stoves.
That self powered fan is very interesting, will have to look into that for the house.
My girlfriends parents are giving me there Vermont Castings 1977 Vigilant stove. It's pretty nice. Not sure weather or not the best place would be the basement, or the middle room...
