What are the advantages of a woodstove made of soapstone?
Soapstone stores more heat for its weight than any other naturally occurring material. It has twice the heat-storing capacity of iron and superior heat retention qualities not found in cast iron or steel. HearthStone soapstone stoves produce a lasting heat that warms the home steadily and evenly. As the fire burns, the soapstone absorbs massive amounts of heat, which continues to radiate for hours, long after the fire cools.

It has twice the heat-storing capacity of iron and superior heat retention qualities not found in cast iron or steel. HearthStone soapstone stoves produce a lasting heat that warms the home steadily and evenly. As the fire burns, the thick soapstone absorbs massive amounts of heat, which continues to radiate for hours, long after the fire cools. People have used soapstone ‘warmers’ for centuries, if not millennia. A slab of Hearthstone’s soapstone warmed on your stove, and placed in an insulated pouch makes an excellent foot, or bed warmer – try it!
