finally ordered my stove!

[krex1010]

well after months of looking, and flipping, and flopping, i finally made my decision and ordered my insert. i went with the avalon rainier, i think the size will fit my house perfectly, it will heat most of my living areas running comfortably, and if i ever need it to heat the whole house i dont think it will be hard if i crank it up. i got a great price, i'm comfortable that the shop i bought from will do a responsible and safe install, and i have about three cords of wood split and stacked for next winter and more wood is on its way!

anyway i want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences and advice with me!

I'm sure you'll have a cool/damp night where you can fire up a small fire with the windows open. :lol:

Thought you ordered it already? What changed your mind?

i was going to get a rainier that was a display model in the showroom, which came at a discounted price, but it turned out that it was the 45 degree flue and i needed the 90 degree flue, so getting the 90 flue bumped the price up considerably, then the salesman told me they recently started selling pacific energy stoves and after looking at them i really liked the pacific insert, the firebox is a little larger than the rainier and it is set up for north south loading, which i like, and it was about $400 bucks less than the rainier, so thats what i went with. i cant wait to try it out!
