Hi folks. My neighbor may want to sell his 4 year old IR woodstove. He claims he has run about 11-12 cords thru this thing over the period. Anyway, its the black one, and he wants 900.
I'm really torn, buy this and potentially rebuild it if needed, or shop and buy a new one and get the tax credit. I'm also interested in the Jotul oslo and I did see maybe they'll come out with a top loader.
My VC is not dead yet but I know I need to do something sooner or later.
I'm also curious whats been your or your customers experience with the IR. After 4 years what things go? How much do the typical parts that may need to be replaced cost? What should I check for and what most common places to look. I guess I'd also like to what things typically go? What would be a worst case scenario if she needs a rebuild. What am I in for if I go this way?
Thanks.
