Thanks for the replies KaptJaq!
My wife and I had a talk this morning and we've decided to hold off on the new floors until spring which will allow us to purchase a new stove and replace the hearth. Now I need to find a good stove store that will do the install as well. Anyone from the Central Mass are know of a good stove place??
Higgins Energy in Barre, MA just built a new showroom. Might be worth a drive just to eyeball some different stoves.
