Hearthstone wood stoves are well known for their beauty, craftsmanship and high quality materials.  

Hand crafted in Vermont, Hearthstone has been building wood, gas and pellet stoves for over 35 years.

Hearthstone also incorporates soapstone into many of their stoves which is a great feature.

Soapstone is a natural rock material which was formed millions of years ago under intense heat and pressure.

The way it was formed allows soapstone to withstand direct flames and changes in temperature without jeopardizing the stones strength or integrity. 

One major benefit of soapstone is its ability to gently radiate heat over a long period of time which works great for providing enough warmth for an overnight burn.  

Unlike steel or cast iron which warm quickly and typically make sitting too close to the stove uncomfortable, soapstone provides a more consistent and even heat that won't blast you out of the room, but still evenly heats your entire home.  

Plus, the look of soapstone is beautiful.  

Since it's formed naturally, each piece of stone is different and almost resembles granite with its unique veins and rich colors that are accented with the stones polished exterior finish.
