    Large Monitor/Toyo stove, woodstove, and eventually a furnace for makeup/recovery air. The Monitor will always be set at its lowest point which I believe goes as low as 55.

    It is cut in and supported, it is a insulated box beam. Darker color because I had a lot of pressure treated around to use up. Very heavy to put into place, I can say that.
