Easier heating Once heated, soapstone stays warm for hours, making it the ideal material for overnight heating or for other long stretches of time when you can’t tend the fire. Having a warm stove in the morning makes rekindling the fire quick and easy. Comfortable heat The powerful radiant heat from soapstone warms the objects in your home, not just the air. The heat from soapstone is gentle, even, and comfortable. You can sit close to a soapstone stove without getting the uncomfortable blast of heat you would feel from a steel stove.   Natural Stone Soapstone is a natural metamorphic rock formed millions of years ago under intense heat and pressure. Because it has an unusually stable composition, soapstone can comfortably withstand fire and dramatic changes in temperature indefinitely. Heat Retaining Soapstone retains more heat than any other material. Compared to other stove building materials, soapstone has the capacity to store twice as much heat as steel. Aesthetically Pleasing Soapstone also has an attractive, natural appearance. Each stone has a unique grain, a one-of-a-kind decorative element that will age gracefully. When exposed to high temperatures, the rich colors of the stone will deepen over time. View more
