Decided to go with the HI300 wood burning insert today. Was a tough choice between the HI300 and the Clydesdale, but in the end we picked the HI300. Went with the timberland brown finish, too. They're coming out Thursday morning for the install. Have the chimney sweep coming out tomorrow to make sure we're clean and ready to go.

Now time to start hunting for some wood!

Interior or Exterior Chimney? You'll want an insulated liner and block off plate if exterior. Make sure to take lots of pics. Oh, great stove by the way. Fourth season with mine and no problems to date.
 
We have an interior chimney but we're going with the insulated liner anyway. We're getting a 5.5" liner.

Had a tree service out a couple weeks ago to look at cutting down 3 dead poplars and 2 dead oaks in the front yard. Something tells me they would look much better stacked in the backyard next winter!
 
Congrats on the new stove. I also bought a new insert last year and there will be a learning curve, im still learning. If you dont get the heat you want at first and your wood is good and dry try not running you blower until the stove gets nice and hot and run it on low ( all stoves are different but it is a trick i wish i knew about long ago), this with give you radiant heat and in my case longer burn times. Propbably purchase a moisture meter to ensure your wood is ready. Enjoy that good heat.
