Moving my wood stove

[firewoodjunky]

Thanks for the replies KaptJaq!
My wife and I had a talk this morning and we've decided to hold off on the new floors until spring which will allow us to purchase a new stove and replace the hearth. Now I need to find a good stove store that will do the install as well. Anyone from the Central Mass are know of a good stove place??

Higgins Energy in Barre, MA just built a new showroom. Might be worth a drive just to eyeball some different stoves.

Well I had to break all the screw heads off to get the cover off but when I did there was no sign of the catalyst. It looks like someone has removed it. Is it safe to run a catalytic stove without it?

You wouldn't be the first guy to remove the catalyst and run his stove that way. It can be done safely.
