First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cindy and for the last 5 years, my hubby and I have been building our own home. We are getting very close to finishing and will move in around Christmas. All along, I have planned on using a Quadrafire 7100 fp. So now that I have framed up the fireplace for it and went to order it, I find out that Quadrafire switched the wood burner production line into making pellet stoves instead and I will not be able to get a quadrafire until September 2009. And the price has gone up by over $1000 too. I am really disapointed!! Now I need to find something else that looks as good and performs well. I want to be able to heat 2200 sq ft. I want non catalytic and I want glass doors so I can see the fire. It needs to be able to fit in the same sized opening. But it also needs to be able to run with the doors open and with no blower in case of power outages. Can anyone suggest something for me? Thanks....
Cindy
