Well my first liner install went as expected........PITA. Everything I thought was gonna be easy was really hard, and everything I thought was gonna be hard.....was harder. This install was for function not looks this time. The money spent on the liner was all there was in the budget for this job,the wife wants a new kitchen, estimate with me doing all the labor $9,000.
6" liner, wool insulation, block off plate and terracotta cap. I painted the inside of the hearth to cover the nasty steal lining. I managed to get this done today with a 2y/o at home and one buddy for 30min. The whole job took all day, but I had everything ready when he got here. :-/ I hope to have the money for a BK princess insert in a few years. At that time I would love to stone the fireplace and replace the hearth and mantle.
I have a NC-13 in the front of the house (U shaped 1800-2000sqft ranch, never really measured) and this Quad 400 in the tv room. This stove is more for the really cold nights and weekends. The NC-13 does a fine job during the day and above 30* temps which is our avg here.
Thanks for looking,
Charlie
