Had made up my mind to get the Fireview and am getting close to the order date for the $500 discount so we sat down to look at the other expenses involved in building this cabin and the cost of appliances, light fixtures, fan, sinks, cabinets, etc. and realized that the Fireview might not be
the best use of funds at this time. Extimated cost of Fireview is $2300 + 300 freight + $1000 for
Class A SS flue pipe roof cap, etc. That's $3600 of real money. Looking at other alternatives I see that the well reviewed NC-30 is $1100 or less with no freight and the $1000 for flue parts.
Big difference. Same performance? No. Would it work well for us in this warmer climate with lots of shoulder season? Probably so. Would it be smarter to start with this and take another look at the Fireview or whatever in a couple of years? I think so. Now my decision is to choose between the NC-30 and the NC-13. I'm thinking the larger firebox of the NC-30 is the way to
go and just go with smaller fires during the warmer periods. Anyway, that is the direction we are
moving.
