Vermont castings Intrepid 2 replacement

[Srvfan]

I have an Intrepid 2 I’d like to replace. ( yes I know……) Any how my problem is this, I need something small like the Intrepid
2 which has a 13” deep firebox and legs that are about 22” deep front to back. My stove sits on my fireplace hearth which has a ice arched opening . No way am I doing an insert . So I need something shallow front to back and fairly short height wise . Would love soap stone, definitely want high efficiency and low emissions . Having problems finding anything that fits the bill that isnt ridiculously huge, looking for recommendations.

I had a Woodstock fireview. Wish I had kept it. Great stove. Worth looking into.

What’s the max height you could can fit knowing that it will depend on the width with the arch?

Dead center of arch about 31” at 24” wide (12” each side of center ) I’ve got maybe 27”. Front to back of hearth beyond the fireplace opening I’ve got 20”. The Intrepid 2 sits mostly in front of the fireplace . I see many new stoves like Hearthstone that side load. That means i can’t push it back at all into fireplace, can’t open door. FYI cost is not really an object I’ll pay for a clean running stove, quality and the right fit.

Looks like a Hearthstone Craftsbury might just squeeze in there. Anyone with opinions on these ? Thanx
