Good Morning
I was quoted $4050 for a princess 32 and Alderlea t6 for $4100 shipped. What do you guys think of the price? Which seems to to be a good value? Ty
 
That BK price sounds right to me. I know the BK qualifies for the tax credit, does the Alderlea too? I think both stoves are a good value, both have a good reputation. I would go with whichever is a better fit for your space/demands/expectations/goals/chimney, etc.

Don’t know what options that includes with the Princess, but it’s about a grand less than I paid for mine. I got the ultra pedestal and fan kit with my stove. I bought mine in the fall of 2022

If the BK Princess price includes a base and a door, then it seems about right. I paid a bit more than that for a Princess, door, Ultra base, fan kit, and OAK.

The tax credit is huge. 30% back on stove and pipe. The PE is a great stove compared to other noncats but not efficient enough for the 30% back.

Please double check the 30% and the cutoff efficiency ratings.
