This Saturday I picked up a new Blaze King Ashford 20 stove.
I wasn't really looking for a new stove, then one day I saw Massachusetts was offering a $1,250 rebate for replacing an old non-approved EPA stove. I stopped by a local Blaze King dealer and got a quote for a Blaze King Scirocco 20 basic model stove, the stove plus installation tax and shipping came to about $3,300, not much of a deal.
I happened to see an ad on Craigslist from another Blaze King dealer that had some floor models on sale . They had the Ashford 20 for a price that was too good to pass up, so I grabbed it.
For a smaller stove it's quite heavy, it weighs 450 pounds. I removed everything I could to make it easier to move into the house, I remove the ash pan, fire bricks, fans and all the cast iron outside, backed the truck right up to the door and wheeled it right up the ramps inside with no problem.
Placed it on the Hearth pad and put everything all back together. All that's left is to hook up the flue.
With the warm weather now probably have to wait till next year to try it out. I ordered the adjustable DVL pipe and the adapter from Amazon.
