After checking out some used stoves via craigslist I finally bit the bullet and purchased a Quadrafire 5100 insert. I checked on Quadrafires website and the clearances all looked good. Get it home and unloaded and the sucker is too wide to fit all the way into my firebox. I guess maybe they redesigned it although this stove is only a few years old? Either way quad says it needs a 29 1/16 opening but the model I have requires almost 35. I have about 30 1/2. Talk about a bummer but it's my fault for not double checking the measurements myself when I looked at it.
Anybody know the price to open the front of my fireplace 2 inches on either side lol....
