Some seem to like them....

I always liked the looks of those Dutchwest stoves, almost bought one years ago. You need to find out what size that one is, small, large or XL. Also ask how old the cat is.

Good price on the Encore but at 10 years probably needs a rebuild and new cat which will more than double the price. Maybe they only used it ocassionally and it still has some life?

here is a decent deal, just clean her up...http://porthuron.craigslist.org/hsh/3987194985.html

These heat up to 2000 sq. ft and have a good rep.

I did see that stove before and now re checked it out , anyway offer pending .
He said he has to check with the other half

Good stove. Why am I thinking "Rode hard and put away wet."? It should clean up fine.

Ya know, wood stove abuse should be at least a misdemeanor.

3 years old , he is switching to wood furnace .
What I noticed , if U look at the pics close, U see a dirty camera lens, SPOTS, makes it look bad .

The hearth pad is worth $300 or so.

Get a wire brush on an angle grinder and scrub that puppy up. Add some stove paint and voila you'll have a great looking, well built Lopi.

Congratulations!

Well, Thanks for posting that , It made me take a second look and now I am looking forward to cutting my wood consumption in half ,burning cleaner, and getting longer burn times.
I think $450 is a decent price for that 3 year old stove but, of course I still haven't looked at it yet.
