What stove does she want to get, you ask? Well naturally, one of the most expensive and nicest looking......the woodstock hybrid. I should have known better than to show it to her, its all my fault! She didnt like the steel look of any stove, even the osburn and napoleon. I like the woodstock too, I just needed to get passed the price. So I called them, but they are back ordered until mid november. Trying to decide if we can wait that long, 2 months is a loooong time when its cold. We might use our old stove along with a kerosene heater for awhile.
One issue I have with this woodstock stove is that it has a 6" flue, but I confirmed that I do have 8" pipe. My neighbor/installer says it will be ok to run a reducer, from 8" down to 6" so it fits. Do you guys know if thats ok? I know you steered me towards the 8" stoves earlier, because I said I had 8" pipe. Would reducing that that be a safety issue, or an efficiency conflict? Or, would that be ok to do?
