I have a Regency F2100M and was curious to know how hard it would be to replace it with a pellet stove. The stove came with the house and I'd like the ease that comes with a pellet stove.
 
Replacing your Regency is not hard but the exhaust for the pellet stove MAY BE, depending on the venting. What type of chmney do you have now? Do you intend to use the same chimney for the pellet stove? If so, you may need to line it with 4" stainless steel & adapt your 3" pellet vent to that 4" liner. If you're doing a whole new pellet vent thru the wall, there are other situations tha you may encounter. Like wiring, framing members or hidden cold air returns. Maybe if you posted a couple of pix of your current set-up, with a more detailed explanation of your intentions, we could be of more help.
 
Thanks for the replies. I'll be sure to snap a few pictures when I get home.
