Nice looking stove king.. Did you buy one? Brown's right it does remind me of the T-5 the way the door looks..

No, just a new stove that I saw. I do have an Enviro insert. If I were in the market for a free standing stove, I would definitely be looking very hard at the Enviro freestanding lineup. Problem with my current setup is that my house is kinda modern looking, and a plain steel stove doesn't really fit our setting. At least that's what the wife says. She does like the red PE spectrum though. So maybe I can wear her down in a few years. She's not real happy about my wood fence that I've started creating across our back yard. I figure I better get her used to that before I start pushing for an upstairs stove.raybonz said:
Even if I get my wife to accept the wood stacks, I'll still end up with a red stove with a cracked firebox.BrotherBart said:

Since it will be a "distress sale" we may need to talk about that 1700. :coolsmirk:
i bought the 1700 boston insert, It is pretty!, Cst iron surround and door and steel box. The door has to weigh 60 - 70 pounds, the cast iron is well constructed there no signs of divets or anything like that. I do wished the paint was more uniform. It appears like a grey metallic sometimes. I have only fired it once so far, there are no rattles or shakes to the fan, and the surround is pretty stable too
1700 stays in the man cave downstairs. Cracked red stove would go upstairs.BrotherBart said:kingquad said:Even if I get my wife to accept the wood stacks, I'll still end up with a red stove with a cracked firebox.BrotherBart said:

Dang it. Another missed opportunity. I have told the story here before about trying to buy a 1700 insert and the dealer saying he didn't sell Enviro. And a long time after the 30 was installed and I had emailed Enviro he contacted me and said he would be glad to sell me one.
So sorry dealer. That 30-NC is in the fireplace and doing fine.
(Guy had a warehouse full of Buck Stoves he was trying to get rid of.)

Just start buying stoves without telling her. What is she going to do, complain that she is too comfortable during the winter?
I'm hoping that the $5000 spray foam insulation job I just had done in the attic negates the need for an upstairs stove. The Enviro could keep the upstairs at 70 degrees in the main parts of the house, but only when I was running it with a full load. That was when the attic was poorly insulated an leaky. It's completely sealed now, so we'll see.BrowningBAR said:
I'd like to see Woodstock redesign the Keystone and Fireview with their newer burn technology in a few years. If they could improve their rear clearances a bit, then I'd give the Keystone a serious look. Wife likes the looks of it too. I've just got to many other things going on right now, and not enough money.
