I'm gonna copy and paste this from another thread just to keep from re-typing.
So I’ve got a couple more leads on some good inserts. I found a last years Lennox Performer c210 with blower and surround, floor model, for $1250. That’s a steal(especially considering that it’s less than 10 minutes from my house). I’ve found away to solve the overhang issue with my hearth not being flush with my opening. I’ve also got about 2 and 3/4 inches extra height for an offset box to move the flue back to the chimney opening. I’ve found two boxes that wil fit so far. It’ll be a REALLY tight fit, but should work. Second stove is the Quadra Fire 2700i that’s about 6 hours away. The guy finally emailed me back, and they still have it, used for 2 seasons, and he’s asking $995 and will negotiate. I’m just trying to verify that’s what the stove really is. He said the overall height is 22 which won’t fit, but I’m trying to get a side pic of the unit to see if the front hangs down like the manuls says it does.
The Lennox should have a warranty, and will qualify for the 10% tax credit but it'll be a harder install. The guy with the QuadraFire will haggle some, but I don't know how much. If I'm reading the manual correctly it'd be a much easier install. Also it'd be a nice weekend getaway for me and the wife. Anybody with either of these stoves care to chime in.
