nice. thanks. i'm in the market for a Pacific Energy T4 or Jotul Oslo.
We've got a Castine which is on under the Oslo. It's been a great stove so far. My wife and I really like the look of the stove. I think Jotul's have a really nice design/look. The Oslo has a side load door which a lot of owners on hearth.com rave about.
tree_skier,
Nice deal! We ended up getting ours in Keene. I picked it up...so no tax or delivery.
It seems that with this federal tax credit, a lot of retailers are pretty "firm" on selling at or near retail. We bought our stove back in mid/late July.
We have a Jotul 450 insert in the dinning room. Part of me wants to keep it in the family and get another Jotul.
Marc!!!!!! Another install question... My chimney sweep took a look at my thimble and clay liner and stated that I can hook a free standing wood stove up without a liner. What is your stance on this? I want to ask around at a hearth shop but feel that they will inevitably say I need a liner in order to drum up some business. But my conscious is telling me to keep seeking info on the topic.

Wtf?? Im trying to joey a free wood stove here!! Start your own Home improvemnt thread Biotch!!!!! ;-)
You should listen up. If you are installing a wood stove in your man cave it needs to be hooked up safely. Hmmm safety..... 8)

I think a lot of it depends on the size of the chimney. We're kicking around getting an insert for our fireplace. When we bought the Jotul, we asked the guy about inserts. I "think" he said if the chimney flue is 8" or less diagonally across, it's OK. From what I understand, a liner is to help with draft. If you're venting a 6" stove pipe into a 12" flue, you'll have draft issues and probably some serious creosote from the gasses cooling to quickly.
The liners add a good chunk of change to the cost...but I'm sure it's better to have one if needed in the long run.
That is what I am finding. I messed around on Hearth.com and stopped into a local shop. For safety and longevity I think I will go with a liner. Now I am debating installing it myself or having it done professionally.

We had a 'professional' recommended by the stove store put our Jotul F3 in. Totally butchered the job, cut out studs that didn't need to go and left a gaping hole in the 1st floor roof 2nd story floor, same with roff/attic... along with damaging the carpet in the second story (drilled away and caught a thread that pulled across the room). Also didn't meet code (wife is in the building industry) - just metalbestos passing through the floor, not a firebox. Ended up not paying the douchebag a cent, which he agreed to. Fortunately one of her cool coworkers helped us fix it up, but it ended up being more of a hassle than if we'd just attempted it ourselves.
Tight space, so minimum clearances all around. Copper heatshields.

Nice, tree_skier. Guess who also has a Heritage?
I love my stove, although let me know what you think of the ash pan. I stopped using mine after about the second time I fired it. Now I just scoop out the ashes with a shovel.
I looked at one of these today. It was the last Hearthstone at this retailer. They are about to discontinue selling this brand. It was the brown enamel one. It started to grow on us after a while. Asking 1725. Sound like a good deal? Marc, care to give a little review? Also looked at the Blaze King Princess and one a couple of Buck Stoves.
Sorry Steve-O... How is the mancave coming?

1725 is a really good deal, I paid over 2 for mine.
I really like the way the stove operates. I kinda wish it had andirons, but other than that. Just keep in mind that with any stone stove it takes a bit to heat up (mine takes about an hour from starting to come up full to temperature). If you want a stove to burn for a half an hour to take the chill out of a small room, look for a cast iron or steel stove.
The stone stoves really excel at heating for over night. Once the fire dies down the stones release heat slowly.
Also I like that it takes a 21" chunk.
I really like mine. Things like andirons I look at like I would power windows on a car. Yeah, they're nice, but I'm much more concerned with how the car drives, or likewise how the stove burns. That isn't going to make or break things.
I've used my parents VC Encore cat quite a bit and I'll tell you I really prefer the high efficiency non cat stoves. It's pretty cool how this one works. Plus I think the Heritage is a real nice looking stove.

Like Glenn said, depends on the size of he flue. If the clay tiles are in good shape (which is a liner, technically... an unlined chimney would be just brick) and the flue is small, then you're good to go. If the flue was built for a fire place though, use a liner or you'll never get a good draft and you'll get some creosote build up, and you'll have smoke hanging around your house which isn't healthy. One of the many benefits of the EPA stoves is not having smoke in the house.
