The Moose is not Loose!

Looking for a moose sighting?  The moose is no longer on the loose, we have one, perhaps two, here at the Woodstock Soapstone Company.

Fall is the season when the question "where are the best places for moose sightings?" is often heard.  This month, the answer is right here!  If you visit us and take our Moose Tour, you are sure to see moose art, moose tools, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of our one-of-a-kind "Trophy Moose Stove".      

If you are visiting Northern New England, stop in and take our Moose Tour.  We are open Monday thru Saturday, 9:00 to 5:00.  

If you are unable to stop in, please remember to brake for moose – it is good for you, and good for them.  

However, you don’t have to take our moose tour for a moose sighting, you can have one in your own home if you take advantage of our September Steal of the Month.  When you order the September Steal of the Month, you get the Midnight Moose art set for FREE, and a FREE moose tool set and hanger.  Don’t delay, this special offer only lasts during the month of September. 

Labor Day Sale!

It is almost Labor Day, and we are busy getting our barbeques ready to fire up.  However, it won’t be long now, and we will be firing up our woodstoves.  The autumn air brings a chill in the morning, and in the evening; a chill that our Woodstock Soapstone woodstoves can easily dispel.

Get a jump on the crispy fall mornings, and the chilly fall evenings that are just around the corner.  Jack Frost will be here very soon.  Every woodstove we make is on sale. Take advantage of the huge discounts we are offering right now!   

If you have been thinking of how you’re going to heat your home this winter, don’t think about it any longer.  Don’t delay, this sale is not going to last forever, it ends September 10^th.  Let us help you find the perfect woodstove for your home.  Give us a call at 1-800-866-4344.  We are here Monday thru
Saturday, 9:00 to 5:00 Eastern time.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Ouch!

It was an "ouch" moment for us, but it has been turned into an "ahh" moment for you.   We had an unfortunate morning last Friday, when our website went down.  We apologize for this mishap, and hope you did not encounter the same frustration we experienced.  This issue has been addressed and resolved, so should not happen again.

We have extended our "Plain and Simple Sale" for one week as our way of apologizing for any inconvenience you may have had while trying to access our website.

The good news is; our sale is extended for one more week.  The bad news is; this too shall end.  Please check out the fantastic savings we are offering on our newest steel hybrid wood stove, it may be just

Absolute Steel Simple Prairie
Charcoal with Blue - Right Side Door

what you and your home will need this winter.  We are also offering discounts on our other hybrid wood stoves, the Progress and the Ideal Steel, along with savings on our three older models, the Fireview, Keystone, and Palladian.

We hope to hear from you soon!

It's the Dog Days of Summer!

The ancient Romans called the hottest, most humid days of summer the “dog days”.  This did not pertain to all of the dogs laying around this time of year, it was because they associated this time of year with the Dog Star, which is at its brightest this time of year.

Here at Woodstock Soapstone Co., we have noticed our resident dogs are certainly laying around much more than they did in the Spring.  So, instead of linking these Dog Days to the brightest star in the sky, we’re linking these Dog Days to our brightest stars in our factory.  To commemorate our brightest stars – Tippy and Ramona – we are highlighting all dogs in our Ideal Steel Steal of the Month.  

For all of our dog lovers, this is a special Steal of the Month. We are giving you the

option of choosing from our selection of artwork that features dogs.  This is the best of two worlds!  You get exceptional pricing on one of our best selling stoves, together with the opportunity to show your love for your dog.

Just as dogs are man’s best friend, the Ideal Steel Hybrid Wood Stove will be your best friend when the icy winter winds come ripping down from the North.  Our Ideal Steel Hybrid Wood Stove will be as loyal to you as your dog is, and will protect you from whatever Old Man Winter brings to your door.

Don’t delay, this special offer is only good through the month of August.  The Dog Days of Summer are gone when August is over, so too is this offer.  Give us a call today!

Flowers and Water, Not Your Average Wood Stove

Blue Water Lily

 Water lilies grow in all climates, all over the world, from tropical to temperate. And, just as the water lily can survive in the rugged terrain of Northern Canada and Alaska, our Ideal Steel Hybrid Wood Stove will enable you to survive the cold when the harsh winter weather arrives in your neighborhood.

Water Lily Center and Side Burners

So, we figured since the Water Lily is July’s birth flower, symbolizing enlightenment, strength, and toughness, it just naturally belongs on our Ideal Steel Hybrid Wood Stove.  This makes the Water Lily the obvious choice for our July Ideal Steel Hybrid Steal of the Month. 

Water Lily Side Medallion 

Like the Water Lily is strong, so too is our Ideal Steel Hybrid Wood Stove.  Strong, robust, and industrious, while maintaining low emissions for a cleaner environment, the Ideal Steel Hybrid Wood Stove exemplifies the Woodstock Soapstone Company’s standard of excellence.

Take advantage of our July Steal of the Month, and appreciate the warmth of our Ideal Steel Hybrid Wood Stove, while enjoying the beauty of the hardy water lily.

Summer is Here and the “Livin’ is Easy”

We have entered into the sixth month of our calendar year – half way through 2016!  June is here, and we are thrilled, what’s not to love about Summer Solstice? 

Ideal Steal Swan Andirons

June brings summer, weddings, and celebration.  Named after Juno, the Goddess of Marriage
and Protector of Women, June also brings us beauty and grace.   Here at Woodstock Soapstone, 

we want to celebrate Juno by enhancing our Ideal Steal Steel of the Month with swans, the symbol of beauty, grace, and love. 

Ideal Steal Swan Side Medallion

Our swans capture the essence of love with their heart shaped silhouettes and romantic profiles.  However, while graceful in movement, swans are known for their strength and determination when protecting their mate and their young. This is why we chose these birds to grace our Ideal Steal Woodstoves.  Not only clean burning with EPA emissions at 1.04 grams/hr (per EPA tests), our Ideal Steal Woodstoves will protect you all winter against the ruthless chill of winter weather.  The Ideal Steal burns at a BTU output rate of 13,017-60,530/hr (per EPA tests).

Ideal Steal Swan Burners

Don’t wait for the ease of summer living to end before garnering your protection against winter’s ferocious wrath.  Take advantage of our Ideal Steal Steel of the Month special pricing, and grace your home with our beautiful swans.  This special pricing is only good for the month of June!

Oops! Our Apologies...

Oops!  We must apologize.  Our website was recently hacked, and many of our valued customers may have received undesirable results when accessing or searching our site on Memorial Day, and the day after.  We like to think of ourselves as “hot” but perhaps not in the manner that was depicted during the hacking. 

The situation is back under control, and we sincerely hope you will continue to visit us, either on the internet, on the telephone, or in person. 

If you are unable to visit in person, do check back soon for an update on the next Absolute Steel Hybrid Woodstoves that are in production.  We are fabricating the Foursquare and Prairie Wheat models now; we are anticipating they will be ready for shipping soon – perhaps as soon as next week!

Absolute Steel Prairie Wheat

It is a busy time here at the Woodstock Soapstone Company, the Great Plain and Simple Prairie are up next, we are predicting they will be ready in the next few weeks.
