Timber Ridge 2400 sq ft VS Drolet Escape 1800

Can't thank you all enough for the help. I've decided against the NC-30. The Drolet's track record is impossible to ignore.

Now I'm waffling between the Escape (paid for and awaiting pickup) or the HT models! Thanks again for all the great info and options

Can we talk about baffles? I see they use different materials in the escape and HT.

It's done, HT3000 will be here at the end of the month.

Keep us to speed as you progress with installation. Will your venting system be straight up through the home and out the roof? Preferred for performance.
Centralized location by chance?

We're using an existing brick chimney that goes up the exterior. Needs an inspection, potentially a new liner.
We'll have 8' of stove pipe in the house
Chimney is 30' high (2 storeys)
It's not central, it's in the basement.
