Christmas In March

I picked up my wood stove today from the trucking depot. Heavy mofo!!! Sadly, it's gonna be relegated to the garage; where you see it in the pix, until I get my hearth built. After that I can set it on the hearth and do the chimney thing. But before all that, I gotta tear out the old fireplace unit and reframe and close up the wall it was in.Some pix of the stove.

looks kinda like a Tremont, but the handles don't..

Hex and Rogain........................The make of the stove is Englander...........model is 13NC..........the NC meaning non-catalytic.It's a basic style stove............and I got a deal on it..........just under $800 free shipping to the trucking depot. Picked it up in my work trailer yesterday and it was a tight fit to get her in there. Only an inch on each side to slide her in. The forklift guy was really handy!!! Anyhow; I've been reading like crazy about stoves/brands/etc. This brand kept getting mentioned for nice price, great performance, great support from the manufacturer, etc. The money I saved on the stove alone will pay for the hearth and chimney I need to install yet. I couldn't see spending $2000-2500 on a stove alone..............they were pretty and well built..........but come on!!!
