Hi everyone;
I'm trying to decide what to do with my wood stove. its 1991 VC acclaim; and it needs the usual firebick, upper fireback, gaskets and combustion pk.
The "rest" of the stove is in good shape
I've gotten 2 opposite opinions from the 2 local VC dealers " worth the fix" and "not worth the fix" HAHA; both suggested a Regency stove replacement; the F1100 and the 2400; the F1100 is twice the cost of the parts I need.
I've searched the site and read and read about the VC stoves.
I guess what I really would like input on is: is a 20 year old stove worth it? $$$ Is a consideration right now too, so a few more years from this one might be worth it; or am I setting myself up for more issues every year.
thanks for any tips or opinions.
