My uncle has asked that I help him decide on installing an insert or free standing stove in his hearth.
Remodeled old school house (2000sq' =+) well insulated, masonary chimney(outstide wall) facing open floor plan (kitchen-family room). 3 Bedrooms down short hall.
His hearth is large enough to stuff just about anything in there and he said he built it with the idea of putting an insert in sometime (he had an old Buck in previous house). Plans on installing 6" insulated liner inside chimney.
ad in CL this morning for Hearthstone Mansfield, grey and brown majolica enamal, said only used for four months, includes rear mounted blower
cost new: $3,900 sell for: $2200
I would think this would make a great hearth stove for that house but so would an insert, what do ya'll think?
