The Alpine massive soapstone wood stove offers over 1,600 pounds of 2.5-inch–thick soapstone to radiate heat similar to that from a full three-ton masonry heater, but at a third of the cost. These amazing soapstone stoves require no mortar to assemble and heat between 750 and 1,000 square feet. Five models exist, and all can be seen at www.VermontWoodstove.com.
