I have never had a wood stove before, but I bought one two weeks ago. It's a Century FW300011. I haven't bought anything but the stove yet.
I've been looking through websites for information on installing the piping and chimney with a cathedral ceiling (which I have in my manufactured home). I think I have got the process pretty much down, but I'm looking for any advice or suggestions to keep in mind.
I'm also unsure where to buy from. I got the stove at Menard's here in town, and Menard's does sell piping and chimney equipment, but I'm not sure if I should purchase it there or else order a kit from another location. I have really only a limited idea of what I'm doing, but I can't afford to pay a few thousand dollars to have someone else install this.
I also don't have any wood as of yet. I could buy some for this year and I may end up doing that, but more then likely, I'll probably end up heating mostly with electric this winter unless I can get this thing ready to go fairly quickly. I'd appreciate any information or knowledge you might be able to share or offer me.
I'm a pretty humble guy and don't mind the advice or correction.
Nice to find this community.
