New, looking for options for my size opening

Thanks for the info. We had a no cat stove when I was growing up and it did great. I will probably stick with that.

Note that the stove you had growing up and a modern stove will burn quite differently. Fully seasoned dry wood is the key to success.

That won't be a problem. I live on 5 acers and can cut and dry all year

Hey Jwal, welcome. Whichever insert you decide to purchase, it will require well seasoned wood. My advice is tap into that 5 acres and start cutting, splitting and stacking wood now. Most wood needs at least a year of seasoning before being burnable in a new EPA certified wood burning appliance. Good luck!

Allow a couple years seasoning after it is CSS for oak and hickory.
