well, all you guys with secondary burners, talked me into it.
i spent the weekend "behind the cheddar curtain" visiting and shopping. one stop was home depot. i didn't need a wood stove, but i saw an englander 13 nc for $519 and asked the guy how much he would come down, we agreed on $399
! figured i better jump on it.
as it turns out, home depot is not going to stock wood stoves any longer. i was told they would be available only on-line. so i think that they are willing to deal a bit more than usual, as you can tell by the price i achieved.
there were some issues with the stove that required attention before i install it, but the englander customer service line was extremely helpful and accommodating. i should have a test fire in it by thu. at the latest.
so if there is anyone else out there in hearth land that has been waiting to make a purchase, please use this info to your advantage...maybe you can cut a better deal than what is advertised!!
