looking for a good place to buy affordable wood stoves?

Question

any one have a cheap one for sale?

Answer 1

Your best bet is to buy locally. Due to the weight and size of these stoves, shipping costs will eat you alive if you buy a cheap stove and have it shipped to you. Keep an eye on the classified ads of your local newspaper for used units. They will probably be the cheapest ones that you can find.

Good luck with your search for a stove.

Answer 2

When I was growing up, my parents moved a lot and I only remember 2 houses out of 10 or more that did not have a fireplace in it. I have many stories I could tell, but I'll try to keep it short. As far as the "make sure you do this" part, I would suggest a triple wall chimney to go through your roof/ ceiling. My Moms' comfortable temp is 85, so she was almost always cold. One time my Dad got fed up with it and said "I'll build you a fire to cook you out of the house." Next thing we know, the ceiling caught on fire. What a mess, putting that out was like trying to pee up a rope. One fireplace will heat one room, unless it is some how vented to the rest of the house. When we got our first "airtight" wood burner, we discovered how well it worked. It melted some candles we had on the wall, not joking. However, since the thermostat was in the same room, the furnace never kicked on when the fireplace was going, so the rest of the house was ice cold. The best set up I ever had when I got my own home, was an airtight type fireplace with a blower in the back of it. I took that fan out, hooked up some duct work and a blower from a gas furnace to where the old fan was. Then attached that to the vent of the house, after blocking off the house furnace so it wouldn't blow air through it the wrong way. Then I took the thermocouple out of that same old gas furnace and attached it to the back of the chimney. That way, when the fireplace got hot enough, it would kick on the blower and heat up the whole house. When the fire died down, the blower would shut off, and not blow cold air. Hope that helps, good luck.
