I always wanted the Enviro Venice 1700 insert. Turns out they are discontinued, most likely do to EPA emissions. Well one just popped up for sale used. Should I consider grabbing this? Will parts be hard to get on a discontinued model? Is buying used even a good idea? What is a good price for a used venice 1700?
Enviro Venice 1700 discontinued? buying used?

I'd be careful buying an enviro stove even though there are a quality product.i had an interesting conversation with the head enviro distributor here in canada few years back.they told me that enviro was a terrible company to deal with as far as getting parts.thats what I was told anyways.after they quit making stoves because of epa regulations I sold my kodiak and bought an osburn.
If the price is right and it doesn't show signs of abuse, it's worth considering. These are not complex stoves and unlike the Enviro pellet stoves, normally they don't need a lot of parts.

This is the listing. Let me know what you think.
Nothing jumps out negative from the pictures. The price is great. If the insert is a good fit for your fireplace and home I'd strongly consider it and call.
Thanks. I am going to confirm fitment first then might contact the guy and ask a few questions. It should fit though because I inquired about this same insert last year from a few companies that came out and they didn't mention it not fitting.
Good luck. If serious, call about the age of the unit and why they are selling. At that price, it won't last long.
well this was sold almost instantly so didn't even get a chance to talk to the guy. Guess someone else thought it was a great deal too LOL. Thanks for the help everyone.
I was afraid of that. At that price, they were almost giving the stove away. Hope it went to a good home. They are good stoves.
