Purchasing osburn 2400 and self install

I thought the collar on top my cc325 was a circle and that collar went to an oval I'll have to look again once it cools down

You have a picture of it in this post: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/country-comfort-maintenance.115672/

A lot of those older stoves had rectangle exhausts.

So in order to use the 6" liner you will need an rectangle to round insert boot, looks like this:

Looks like just drilling into the 4 openings on the side support is it really that bad? Figure I could save money with this route while also adding liner for future nicer stove to takes its place?

I just got the 2400 insert last month. It is a beast and a nice stove. I have actually had a problem with too much air intake when completely shut down. I have a 30 foot high chiminey, and the draft is strong., but I think that's good. I prefer it strong so that when I open the stove door, I don't get any backdraft. I took a screw and placed it in the air intake hole in the front of the stove, and that has seemed to help tremendously. I'm now getting longer burns and more control for the secondary air. I know it's a temporary solution, not permenant, but it's a place to start!

If you know how to drill and tap it is not that hard to install, as you mentioned it is those 4 holes on the side that hold it in place. I usually put furnace cement around where it sits on the stove for kicks and giggles.
