Not sure what to do???

Hello, I have been reading a lot of information on here for about the last month. Thank you to all. This time I need help. I am currently using a Century wood burning insert that is about 8 years old. Sadly, last night the glass on the door was broken. I have read about the Stove Glass replacement and it will cost roughly $150. We are wanting to wait till next year and buy a pellet stove so I was wondering if I could buy 1/4" steel in place of the window and use the glass gasket and clips to attach it instead of buying the robax glass? Sorry if this sounds silly, but we want to put a pellet stove in center of house instead of the insert which is on the far end of our house.

Thank you.

Thanks for the replies. Im looking for a less expensive fix for now. It will take 2-3 weeks for the glass to come in or about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks to get the pellet stove. Also a day or so to install. We will eventually be taking the fire place out of the family room. The brick and clay liner need to be rebuilt. I use stainless liner for my insert. We just didnt want to spend the money on a pellet stove till next year. I also still have a rick and half of wood sitting out back.

Thanks.

About 1/3 of a chord. 8 long 4 high and length of wood. Also known as rack of wood.

Thank you for the info. They are only $62.00. Shipping is 25.00 so still much better

Thanks again, Shannon
