Rod does visually impressive work. He creates custom built soapstone woodstoves and the one I have dose through a lot of heat.
The bad:
The end product is not well thought out. In order to avoid creosol build up he demands that you light the stove and burn your wood with a fully open flu in order to create max heat and burn any possible creosol, after that simply let the heat stay in the stone. This is very inefficient, very wasteful of wood and your heat level goes from roasting to cold rather quickly.Rod is possibly one of the worst people I have ever spoken to: rude, arrogant and does not accept any responsibility, translation- does not stand behind his work.If you are going to have him build you one- don't- buy a woodstove instead; Rod will charge you $150 just to walk through your door.
