I'm in the market for a wood insert (my first). After researching it quite a bit I've narrowed down my choices to 2 or 3 models. The problem I'm running into now is that the local distributors for these models don't keep them on display. Looks like if want to actually see them I'm going to have to drive 80 to 100 miles to other towns. But I'm not sure what else to do. I'm very reluctant to order one until I've actually seen it, especially since I'm still deciding between several. Is this typical of how these are purchased? Do manufacturers expect people to buy a $2000 to $3000 stove, sight unseen, based only catalog pictures, if the distributor doesn't keep them on display?
