NEWBIE - Cost effectiveness question

[WOODBUTCHER]

Skwala imo that's a little high. If it were me this is how I would proceed..

...employ a chimney sweep to clean and survey the chimney..hole in the wall. If the sweep say it's good to go for a wood stove...allrighty. Then hightail it over to a Loews or Home Depot and check out the Englander stoves...maybe a 13NC. Less than $1500 and you're ready to burn...if you can get seasoned wood.

Good point Savage
...if you can get seasoned wood Something not usually factored into a late season stove purchase.

If cost is a concern, I second the comment above about getting an Englander 13NC. It will cost about $1,000 to buy (less on sale), plus the cost of installation.
