Fyrebug, he mentioned it earlier on in the thread. He stated he paid $400 and he seen new ones at Menards for $899.00. Like you said. Without a Masonry Fireplace, the best bet is to sell and take that cash into another stove (Freestanding).
To the OP. There are many deals out there. I bought an Entire "Kit" from a Forum member here (lethaldose). It was an Englander 30-NC, All Double wall venting inside, DVL connector, Thimble, Clean-out T, T-support Box, 18' (6- 3 ft sections) of Simpson Dura-Plus Class A triple wall, and all needed hardware and mounting brackets for $800. He also had it on Craiglist. Originally wanted $1,200 or better, but I talked him down to $800. He had only bought it a month before that and had 3 Fires built in it. Everything was "Brand New".
Check Craiglist, Ebay, local Newspaper, Etc. He was only about an hour drive away. He was thankful to re coupe some money (job offer in South Carolina) and I was happy to get the entire set-up for less than half price.
Welcome to the Forum. Sorry to hear about your situation, but you can turn it around and make it into something better. You may find the deal of a lifetime.. Now that you are "Looking" for it.. Good luck
