Tonight, I pulled the trigger on a refurb 55-TRP22 from AMFM Energy. Thanks for everyone's input on helping me make the decision. A special shout out to Mike from Englander and Andy from AMFM Energy as well as forum members who directly answered some of my questions, or contributed to the decision making process through past postings. Excited (and nervous) about this. I'll be posting pics of the install as well as asking additional questions along the way, I'm sure.
Now, gotta start the build of a hearth. (If you've got dimensions for a hearth for a corner install for this stove, I'd appreciate them.) And, start deciding on pellets. From what I've gathered so far here on the forums, people seem to recommend buying several different varieties of pellet to see what your stove likes best. And, it seems that there are several brands out there that people recommend avoiding. So, have to take that into consideration. If you do have a 55-TRP22 (or equivalent), are in the Northeast (I'm in upstate NY) and would like to chime in on what pellets you've had success with, I'm all ears.
Anyhow, with fuel oil approaching $4/gallon, something had to give. Gonna top off the fuel oil tank one more time and then join the ranks of those sticking it to the oil man
