Skywalker ~ If your old woodstove is no good after 8-9 years, I don't think I'd get that particular make again. My woodstove is very old, and still very efficient. Sometimes you can get deals on them right out of the local paper.



Roxi! No need to tell me twice about not buying the same stove again! The old ones seem to last the longest.

The house I own has electric heat and is built on a slab. It would cost way too much to install a central heating system and we really have no room for a furnace.

I guess the people we had cleaning out chimney and checking out our stove every year didn't do such a good job and I was not very vigilant on checking up on it either. It had a catalytic converter in it too, which I find is more costly to repair, especially if neglected. So I'm going to get one without the cat.
