We have Progress Hybrid wood stove. Beautiful cast iron frame with soapstone double panels. Super efficient, clean burning. Once the combustor is engaged you don't see smoke coming out of the chimney. We about 2 cords less wood over the season as compared to a non catalytic stove. Also, the soapstone continues to radiate heat for about 6 to 7 hours after a burn is finished.
Very nice cook top feature. I don't believe the mansfield soapstone has that cook top feature. There is not enough videos on the mansfield which is the one I am looking at. I saw a video where they were cooking on top of the soap stone. I really like what you have .
As a side note, after ~30min the cooktop temperature was 430 deg F in the center. Sides of the stove are about 350. There is no smoke at all coming from the chimney.

I'd love to see a video where you cook a meal.

I just installed mine last week. Absolutely incredible stove and no or very little smoke.
Nice!
Your bypass turns real easy. Mine is quite stiff. Did yours loosen up over time?
Yes, I think i remember that it was stiff for us initially.
