Help with a woodstock stove. Is this a good deal?

[kiletravis09]

So I found a woodstock stove on CL for what looks like a great deal. At first glance I thought it was a fireview stove but now that I look closer it looks like a classic with glass on the front. I'm picking it up today for 275$. The guy said it was in his parents house and that they bought it new a long time ago and very rarely used it. Both of his parents have passed and now he is selling of their estate. Is this a good deal? It seems to be in pretty good condition. Just needs cleaned.

Looks like a Woodstock Classic and in nice shape. Non-catalytic, yes?

I'm not sure if it's non catalytic. I assumed all of the fire view style stoves were catalytic

No, the Classic was not catalytic. Not sure if there will be a retrofit. Check out this thread.

Looks great. Don't forget to add on all the piping and safety gear.
My $300 potbelly was 2 g's before we could safely and legally fire up.

Still, now that we're setup for lava-temps, I'd snatch that up and hook into our
existing hearth and exhaust.
