Hello all,
I just bought a fixer-upper that has a Cawley 800 that failed inspection. At the very least, the baffle needs to be replaced, but I suspect it will be more involved. I am a complete newbie to wood stoves, but I'd like to heat my home with it if possible.
My question is, considering that it will cost almost $3000 to have a new wood stove installed (this is New Jersey), is it worth having the Cawley 800 repaired/restored? Considering the efficiency of new wood stoves and the new EPA guidelines, is the Cawley just an old lady that needs to be put out to pasture?
Thanks in advance for your help!
