ENGLANDER NC 30 IS MY CHOICE

[Ernienomoreoil]

So here is the latest, I went to home depot and they did not have any NC 30’s in stock so I told the Manager if she can sell me the floor model and she said NO. I explained to her that I have been looking for this stove for a week now, she felt bad for me and decided to sell me the stove. I asked her the price and she said $999.99, I asked for a discount and she said that she could not discount the stove because it is the floor model and they just put it out 2 weeks ago and they sold out on the stock they had (I quote the manager “they are selling like hot cakes”. I looked at the stove and I looked at the manager and I said; the stove has surface scratches and it was missing the manual (I already downloaded it). The manger looked at me and said OK, I will give you 10 % off….So guess what I took it. To make matters better I had a 10% off Movers coupon, so the total price $800.00 for a new Englander 30 during peak season…..Hurray for me….

Now comes the labor, I will be building my raised Hearth in the following order:

2 x 4 wood studs (no R value)
3/4 Plywood (no R value)
1 1/2 inch Metal studs face down for more support (2.14 R value air space)
1 inch cement boards(.52 R value)
1/4 inch Tile (.01 R value)

Total R value 2.67 - a bit over the 1.5 required


Thanks to all for the wonderful feed back on the NC 30 reviews and recommendations, I will be posting pictures on the project is complete.


A special thanks to Brother Bart…..

SO I WENT FROM NC 13, OSBURN 2200 AND THE WINNER IS….......THE NC 30….. BRING IT MR. WINTER!!

It does happen. We get a few folks a year that want to downsize or avoid overheating with a new stove based on past experience. Pen IIRC picked up his 30NC from a fellow that got tired of burning with the windows wide open. This is a serious heat machine.

One of the Jotul gas stoves I bought in that inventory a few years ago was a GF600 Firelight. When we opened the crate the front casting had been busted in shipping. Tears in my eyes over the lost revenue.

I have thought about putting the castings around the 30 to make it a "gentle giant". But that would be butt ugly so I am just gonna scrap the thing. But two years ago I did put a Day-Glow kero heater inside it out in the shop and have some fun for a couple of days. If fit completely inside it with the gas burner removed.

Ouch, put it on eBay. Better to sell it cheap than to scrap it.
