Hello,
Story/buy info here, help question below: I've been looking at either the 30NC or 13NC for our split level home. Replacing 1970's Pro-Former Z, 2,200 total square feet, woodstove down, fireplace up. We decided to do two smaller stoves: 13 down and fireplace insert in the future up so as not to "blow us out" of the basement, have more heat control, and to make the fireplace, which we love, an actual heat source. That being said, I've been keeping an eye on the 13NC--I know some have gotten end-of-season deals, but I didn't feel like waiting.
Doitbest.com has the 50-SNC13 on sale for $649. It is the very basic model (no trim ring, feet, etc.), but they will ship it to a store for free. I wanted the feet, so I took the printout to Lowe's and they matched it for their 50-SNC13LC (comes w/trim ring, feet, etc.). Sounds like business is not so good; they were fairly quick to match, but they wouldn't do the 10% difference thing. So you know.
HELP: Two questions:
1. Should the pipe that I'm using go on the outside of the stove's outlet or tuck into the inside?
2. The stove's outlet is farther from the wall (since it's on top)--should I go at a slight angle towards the wall and out or go straight and use a longer piece to connect to the wall. I have attached a sweet pic.
Thanks!
