The Stove Pipe Company specializes in unique soapstone fireplaces, stoves and bake ovens. Soapstone is a natural stone material that was formed from intense heat and pressure deep within the earth millions of years ago. Soapstone makes an ideal material for fireplaces and ovens because of its natural ability to retain and radiate heat. In fact, it has been used in construction and architectural elements throughout the ages. Because soapstone can remain warm for hours at a time once it’s been heated, it’s an ideal heating source for a chilly overnight.
