I happened to stumble across a good deal on a >1 year old G100 that appears to be in very good condition. Is there any known issues with this stove, and would it be worth the $3,500 savings to go with it compared to a G4000?
I need to double check, but I’m told the warranty is transferable.
The savings in wood alone make the G100 a much better stove. Is it this years model or last years?
The difference between this and the 4400 you referenced is also a no brainer. I installed a Crown Royal 7300 MP. I don’t regret not going with a gasser because I burn coal in it at times and that was the point. I wouldn’t consider anything other than a gasser for a OWB if I was only burning wood.
The difference between these and the CB or Woodmaster branded CB is also night and day.
Find a local dealer to help you with the warranty transfer, perhaps the dealer that originally sold the stove.
As far as pipe reading through this. You can do it once or redo it right. That is really how it works. The 1” pipe is pretty cheap compared to the 1 1/4” Thermopex I used. Around $12 for any of it. Like I said do it once.
Just always remember one thing. The G100 will operate better with wood seasoned 2 years and the 4000 will run ok with a green tree cut and thrown in. 3000 square feet well insulated and you have to commit to cutting 5-6 cords each year to stay ahead.
