I have found three used wood burning inserts to buy locally which all fit my opening. A Buck Model 91, Buck Model 74, and Hitzer 983. All stoves are in great condition and less than three years old. For the safety of my family I plan on installing a metal liner inside the clay liner. Not a big fan of a catalytic stove, which the 91 is I understand. Wood will not be the primary source of heat for 2,000 sq ft. home, I'm just trying to give the Geothermal system a break when we reach the teens temperature wise. I have plenty of seasoned Ash to burn thanks to EAB. Please share your thoughts. Thanks!

Buck 91 and install an insulated 8" stainless steel liner. You will be happy with it if it has been properly maintained. Give it a good look over for warps and signs of overfiring, if you can check out the cat and make sure it is in good shape.
Good thread on the 91 for you to look at: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads...unning-advice-tricks-and-tips-welcome.100464/

Measure the inside dimensions of your tile, see what sized liner you can get down, figuring insulation also. Figure that out before buying anything.
