Hello, I am planning on putting a wood stove in my house I saw my first "winter weather" bill with my electric furnace and my mind was made up. My budget means that I either have to buy a used stove or a budget minded new stove (around $1500 maybe) to keep the cost down because I need to install hearth and chimney/stovepipe as well which brings up the total cost of installation significantly. I found someone selling a 1994 Blaze King Princess pej1003. It looks like it's in good condition the cat, glass door, and door seal were replaced 2 years ago. The seller is asking $1200 for it. My question is would I be better going off with this stove or should I try to find a newer/new stove in my price range. Also is this price a little high for a 25yr old stove? Is this model as efficient as the burn times I read about on newer blaze kings? Thank you for any help!
My house is a 1978 manufactured home that is around 1400 sq ft. It has new overhead insulation but the wall/floor insulation is mediocre. Also it has a LOT of large windows the living room alone has 11 windows, so it is quite drafty.
