After debating back and forth over whether to fix or replace my 20 year old VC acclaim, I've committed to a replacement. ( Thanks to those who weighed in on those threads )
I wanted something simple to operate but a decent stove; something that when I need parts won't be an arm and a leg; and had to be similar in size to the Acclaim so I didn't have to totally redo my hearth.
One of the local dealers reminded me that there is a rebate program for houses with electric heat, so I filed and got it! 20% of total install up to $900 for a stove; has to be WETT certified.
Anyway I ordered an Enviro Kodiak 1200 with legs, ash pan and nickle trim. The 1700 being about 5 inches or so deeper just would physically be too large for the room in its current set up
Reviews here, though few are positive on them, plus there are several dealers within an hours drive.
It'll be a couple weeks wait, but we'll still have some cold days so I should be able to get it fired up and start learning it this season!
I can't wait to get burning properly!
