Well, between the Century question and the tumbleweed photo, it's time I finally posted something... I'm in Tucson with a Century FW240007 (the slightly smaller one) installed not a moment too soon in November, and it works great so far. We haven't used tumbleweeds as kindling, but it's a thought. ;-)
We're heating an 800SF room with 11' ceilings and no insulation (1918 former neighborhood grocery) and it's doing the trick. Of course we don't exactly have severe winters.
Anywho, we ordered our Century from Home Depot online (they don't stock them out here... imagine) but would love to have gotten an in-store clearance deal, especially after learning how much the stovepipe and chimney cost. Every n00b question we've had has been asked and answered in these forums, so while customer service can be an issue in case of damage or repair, help from this community will compensate for any corporate shortcomings.
