Good morning everybody,

I'm a new homeowner in southern Indiana and right now my home is only heated with propane :( However, it does have a chimney! So I'm looking at a Dutch West 2461 Large wood stove for sale near me. It's 14 years old but it looks super clean and the guy says it's only had about a dozen fires in it over the years. He kept it in a finished basement and only used it as supplemental/emergency heat. It comes with a hearth pad and several pieces of pipe and the guy wants $600 for the whole sha-bang. My house is 2 story A frame 1900 sq. ft and we are looking at this to run as primary heat in the evenings for us when we are home from work. Thoughts on whether I should pull the trigger on it? Thanks!
 
Not a bad deal at all if the stove is in like new condition and the cat has not been poisoned or accidentally compromised.

Are you planning on lining the chimney? Have it inspected and cleaned first. How tall is it and what is the clay liner size?
