Well its not 100% but it is in and heating my house like a champ! Found the Englander Madison at Lowes in Bend Oregon only a couple hundred miles away and all the chimney parts at Ranch and Home in Tri Cities Washington. So after a lot of driving to gather parts and such it worked out well.
I gave up on finess and let my inner combat engineer shine in the removal process... I didn't like the heatiloator any ways. It put up a good fight but like all things that fight with Marines it lost in the end.
I couldn't figure out how to get the pipe out so ended up just tipping the stove over foward and letting the pipe come crashing down. That pipe is heavier than I thought it would be.
Once the old heatdisapator was out of the way it was just a matter of leveling the floor, bit of framing, add an outlet, and install the cieling support and ICC class A pipe.
I'm still waiting on tile for the hearth and the wife to pick out a color for the walls. The white MDF trim is tempory, my old man is gonna mill me some trim out of blue pine or juniper not sure yet. Thinking slate tile for the floor. Like I said its not 100% but my house is warm and the new stove smell is starting to clear out so I call it a win.
I can't believe how little wood it takes to heat the house! Still learning how to use the air control but so far I am nothing but impressed. Thanks all who pointed me in the right direction. Don't have a total cost figured up yet but stove 750, pipe 1,200, and a few hundred in construction materials plus what ever the tile and paint cost. Money well spent.
