New Vestal Classic Woodstove

It's in. The new woodstove was delivered yesterday afternoon. We pulled out the old stove. My fingers went right through the old chimney pipe, which appears to be 26 gauge galvanized. Very rusted and corroded. I put in the new stove, installed the new chimney pipe (22 gauge black), screwed it together, installed the 6" to 8" adaptor at the roof where it meets the triple wall pipe, and fired her up. Lots of heat, easy to run. Put the kettle on the stove and made a pot of tea. Linda put the rocker in front of the stove, and enjoyed some "me" time. The kitten (Cali) curled up on the hearth, and enjoyed it as well. It hit -22F last night and all is good.
