Wow... bit of a tough time after my post last night. Taking a last look at the P43 I realized that the floor protection requirements were more than I had thought. There's actually a discrepancy in the P-Series brochure which I didn't pick up on until late last night. So....back to the task of looking for a stove with a small footprint. I don't like the fact that footprint is so critical but as I've said previously, the main floor isn't user friendly for a stove. I was really disappointed when I discovered my/their mistake. You know, you finally make a decision after a lot of thought (possibly too much!!) and then something throws a wrench into the plan!! Really stinks!!
So long story short, I have purchased the Accentra. Somehow, even with all the research I did, I missed the fact that they have an optional cast hearth pad which has a very small footprint. I couldn't find anything smaller pushing the same BTU's other than the special order Enviro Evolution. After going to the dealer and seeing both models on the floor, I'm actually pretty happy with the Accentra. I'm not sure how I feel about the cast versus steel but I really like the clean look. I guess as importantly (maybe more), wifey likes it better than the P43.
So tomorrow night at this time, I'll be a pellet burner!! I'm really excited...can't wait!!
Dexter...can you tell your wife you're buying the P38 to resell it, you know, make a buck. My wife is quick to point out when I forget things so....you forgot to sell it...opps.
