Hi Everyone
A few years ago my wife and I bought an Avalon Rainier stove, which we are very happy with. Recently we decided to put our house on the market and move, and the buyer for our house doesn't want the stove or the 3 cords of seasoned wood we have stacked up in the back yard. Go figure....
So the stove is configured as an insert a with the surround panels, and there is a stainless steel liner in the chimney, and a cap on the top to keep out the rain.
Im not sure yet if I'm going to keep the stove or sell it, but what Im hoping you can tell me is -- what's involved with removing the stove?
Does the liner need to come out? I assume the buyer would like to use the fireplace, and Im guessing for that to happen, the liner does need to come out... I'm also assuming that a damper needs to be put back into the chimney.
The place where I bought the stove offered me 300 bucks for it (but before I jump at that -- I paid 1700 new only 3 years ago) I thought I'd see what was involved.
Thanks for any light you can shed.
Best,
Terence
