We had contacted them about a floor model and Bob the owner took time to chat with us and explain many things about wood stoves and way they are sold in the US. Coming originally from the UK, we found the US approach to marketing and pricing very different.

Bob never gave us the impression of feeling that we were wasting his time and is to be commended on his personal approach and also speedy e-mail correspondence. We highly recommend this store.

He was so knowledgeable and skilled that he was able to repair our unit, explain to us how to maintain it and give us general safety and operation tips within an hour. He was also polite and personable. We felt the charge was a good value and will schedule a return visit in two or three years.

Mason and Phyllis are very nice people, but they don't seem to be at all knowledgeable about…read morechimney maintenance and sealing. I had them out around 5 or so years ago to seal the crown of my chimney. Not knowing anything about it at the time of course, and based on their reviews, I fully trusted them as to what material should be applied for that purpose. Mason applied several tubes of Alex Plus caulk to the chimney crown. I was a little surprised they would use caulk, but then they were the "experts" right? They said this stuff will last 40 years, no problem! Your chimney is now fully sealed and protected! A few days ago I went up to inspect the chimney crown. Not an ounce of that caulk remains. Nada. Nothing. It's all gone. We're right back down to naked concrete again. And who knows how long it's been like that. So I called the Alex Plus manufacturer, and they said you should NEVER use Alex Plus for that purpose! Spoke to a chimney sweep, who said you should only use elastomeric sealants specifically made for chimney crowns. He was surprised any 'professional' would do something like that. Obviously, they didn't know what they were doing. Or what kind of sealant really should have been used. But they were nice. So $300 down the drain. Don't make the same mistake I made. Find somebody else.
