If you mind me asking, where abouts is the BK dealer that is near you? I'm looking for dealers in Wisconsin and only found two near Madison. I'm a 1 1/2 hours from there, but am willing to take a ride to buy.Yes Ashful I think the Ashford would be a good fit for our basement fireplace. It has a huge opening and I want to put a free standing in the opening. But for this year we'll stick with pe insert upstairs. It seems we have no Blaze King dealers near our area for some reason, 40 miles is the nearest. Thanks for your input.
