thinkin' on buying summer's heat (englander) 50-SNC30 Yes? No?

[Missjules]

Hello,
I am a prodigal daughter when it comes to woodburning. I grew up in a wood burning home but I have not burned for nearly 20 years. After much research I think I'm ready to take the plunge but I want to run my choice past y'all BEFORE I buy:

What I'm looking for in a wood stove: Inexpensive to buy, efficient, will be used as sole heatsource for my massachusetts home of 2,000 square feet, long burn time, looks not that important but I don't want something that is butt-ugly - glass door would be nice but not essential.

What I'm planning to buy: the Lowes version of the Englander 50-snc30(summer's heat) with a coupon I can get it for $728.10

Is there a stove that offers more bang for the buck? Is there any reason I should reconsider this choice?

I also have some chimney questions, but I'll post that separately.. Thanks!

Cant say I know anything about that Englander but as far as coustermer support you cant beat them. 2 of their emp[oyees are members here and go beyond the call of duty regularly. Look for Mike or Corrie to chime in

Bought my 30 last year, paid half again what you can get it for and have never regretted it. Had a problem but Mike took care of it. Only problem at the moment is the house is too warm.

Several more members have purchased one in the last few weeks. They should chime in shortly.

Bought and installed my Englander last week and I love it! Waaay more heat than my previous stove.

I have the smaller version of the Englander 30NC and am very pleased with the stove in general.

Englander's tech support on the forums between Corie and Mike is second to none. You really can't go wrong with the Englander.

In fact I think the only complaints I've heard about Englander is that they don't make a fancy looking cast or enamel stove.

 

[Corie]

You guys said it for me. I love when a product and a group of people can do that.




Needless to say, we take a lot of pride in what we make, stand behind in 110% and put our blood, sweat and tears into making it the most valuable stove possible.

What is the smaller version of the Englander 30-NC? I thought they were all the same just different names for different stores. I've been looking at the Englanders also, price and quality seem to be a good buy. My problem is the 30 a little to big and the 13 a little to small. Wish they made something in between

The 13NC is what I have.

Actually the lack of a mid-size stove from England Stove Works has been a recent topic of discussion. Ask Mike and Corie when they're releasing a 2.2 cuft firebox stove.

I have two pellet stoves to get out of the way first. Then probably a third pellet stove and THEN maybe a 2.3-2.5 cubic foot firebox wood stove.

So that is what that stain was on my 30. Welder's tears.

 

[Corie]

Probably. If it was an early build, its more than likely sweat as its about 12098098 degrees in that plant until October.

just got a 50-snc30,does anyone know aprox.burn time at low setting using oak/madronethanks

Same stove I bought, and same reasons- lots of heat and economical to buy. I've used mine all winter, heating about 2300sf. It puts out tons of heat. I haven't yet mastered moving the heat around, I can get the front, 750sf stoveroom to 85*, step into the hallway, and its 10* cooler, at least...

Wow, you guys pulled this one from the depths...
