Built and iinstalled the Englander 30, 25' of SS chimney pipe, a raised hearth, and a chase through the upstairs for about $3k. The saw I already had but you could call the tarps, mauls, tools, chains, sooteater etc another $500. Wood is free.
This is my third year and it will have paid for itself. I burn natural gas and it still puts me way ahead. In an old drafty home with steam radiators it costs $300/mo to keep the house at 68 while we are in it, 55 when we are away/asleep.
If I burned oil it would have paid for itself the first year.
