I just finished my installation on my model 2000 yesterday and started my first break in fire last night. I can't thank this forum enough for all it's help and great info. I installed everything myself without any issues what so ever. Chicken farmer if your planning the installation your self your in the right place. :)

I will be tackling the install myself. I was going to  build a stove using the same concept as the Ridgewood, but at the current price point, it didn't make sense. Looking forward to getting it lit up.

Picked both stoves up. Made the 310 mile trip home with no major issues. Now comes the install.

I didn't stay too long. I only talked with the office lady (Craig and Tim's mom). She was very nice but very busy. I didn't want to bother them so once I was loaded, I hit the road. She offered to have someone show me around the shop, but I declined knowing the workload. I would not have any second thoughts about going back there though. Nice folks, but very busy. She told me they were 200 stoves behind.

Congrats C Farmer!! Sounds like Craig has been busy selling stoves. I bought mine back in March and was very impressed with the operation and the people he has working for him as well as his stoves. I am nearing the end of my install, got the lines buried, pad poured waiting to cure, and working inside the house now. Can't wait to fire it up!!! You will find a lot of great advice on this site from some knowledgeable people.

Progress is slow, but there is progress. Just finished up the concrete pad this morning, stripped forms and sprayed sealer. Picked up the heat exchanger/blower unit for the house. Gonna set the boiler this week and get an accurate measurement for my Logstor pipe. Things are moving, but slow.

May be slow but you are doing it yourself and the way you want it, it will be that much sweeter when you are done!

Thanks Jwood!! I hope I can get it done before the snow flies!! Things are crazy busy at work. The automotive Industry has more faith in the economy than I do, but I'll keep taking their 7 day paychecks!!
