For the past several weeks I've been hunting an Oakwood to go have a look. Well, those days are gone! Nobody even carrys this stove in the State of Texas (that I've found so far), and this includes the "Authorized Dealers" I've searched for on the Harman site. SO, the next question is:
Does anyone know where I might look for one? One poster said a dealer in Michigan or Wisconsin had two, but that's a tad far from West Texas--shipping could approach the stove price! I'm planning to contact that one if I don't get a closer/better option. I know, I know, I'm in the totally WRONG part of the country to expect anyone to carry wood stoves, much less the one I want! However, I still need one and the Oakwood appears to have all my "eggs in the same basket".
Since y'all are everywhere, please send me possible sources for an Oakwood and I'll check 'em out. I've used all the zip codes for about 600 miles around here trying to find a dealer who has one, but no luck so far. I don't even mind a day's drive to pick it up, if necessary.
Assuming I find one, I'm gonna be at a substantial disadvantage for dealer assistance and service, since the nearest (allegedly)authorized dealer is 2 hours away, BUT they don't stock or carry Oakwoods--BUT say they can get one. When I called and asked, they said they don't and can't. So, back to square one.
Suggestions appreciated!
--no STOVE
--no SPLITTER
--no CHAINSAW
--no MAUL
--but LOTS of wood (estimated at north of 1 million pounds)
