Can anyone tell me about this insert? I know it's a Country Comfort. Is it worth the trouble or should I take a pass on it.
Thanks

Maybe it's just the pic, but the thing looks huge . . . as in huge enough to go into business doing cremations.

Looks to be in good condition, I do believe that model has a cat in it, you would want to inspect it to see if that is still good and make sure the steel is not warped and there are no cracks.

For more info on this insert see this thread: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/country-comfort-maintenance.115672/

He ended up getting a newer stove,one of the problems is those rectangle exhausts, notice in the picture above how they have that covered Trying to convert those to a round 8" liner takes a special adapter that is a pain to find or you have to get a rectangle to round boot.

I would let this one go and find something newer with a 6" round exhaust that will make it easier to hook up a full liner to.

Thanks for the info, I liked the look of this insert but there's a lot more to these things than looks. $200 bucks made it worth considering tho.

New cat is going to set you back $200, special adapter $100, 8" liner will cost $100-$200 more than 6", it all starts adding up when you look at the overall picture.

Looks like I'll take a pass on this one. Thanks for the replies.

If that was a country comfort 300, it does not have a cat. I paid 300.00 for one in rougher shape , I was lucky to have the oval adapter on top of stove. So I bought a oval to round adapter. Haven't finished the redo yet... I am excited to see how it works out.

I'm gonna go check it out just to see what it is. The guy said its all there and in nice shape, for $200 I'm not sure what to do. Im not in the position to spend a few grand on one.

Yeah. That seems like a decent deal. Wish I could help more and say I've been burning mine for years....

Seems like the biggest expense is a chimney liner

I want to install a thermometer on my cc300. Where can I install one for the best reading. Reason is I want to monitor how hot the stove gets for wood conservation
