The flue is 12" and 20 ft. tall.The 30NC is well-liked here and a great option for someone on a tight budget. You will easily find several glowing recommendations when you do a little forum search. Englander's customer service is also generally described as great and one of their reps posts here often when you ever need help. Make sure your flue is wide enough to accommodate an insulated 6" liner.

Ok, what to do with the extra damper space. The damper is 4ftx8".
You all are great...thanks much!
Man, with such a large flue, and large fireplace opening, you could almost put in anything you want. Should be super easy too. Sounds like a well spent Saturday afternoon should put you in the warm n toasty ranks of the rest of us here!The flue is 12" and 20 ft. tall.
Could i frame it out with studs and use cement board as a base for the damper area. Why do i need a flue, can't i run the stove pipe through the damper, why do i have to go to top?20 ft is a good height and 12" by 12" (?) a good size. Should not be much of a problem to drop the liner down there. Make sure it fits through the damper or you need to cut out a part.

It was one of the selling attractions of the farm. It's the size of a cracker barrel fireplace, just not as deep.Man, with such a large flue, and large fireplace opening, you could almost put in anything you want. Should be super easy too.

I'm jealous, most of us have to fight tooth n nail for every fraction of an inch just to squeeze in a mid size stove!
If you are gonna go with a budget stove, go with an Englander 30. From everything I've heard, it's the only way to go. Maybe even without being on a budget?How are US stoves?

Who sells these?If long, lower temp burns would be the norm a BK King would be awesome there. An 8" liner should fit in that flie pretty easy.....

Huh? You admit overfiring it for 3 years and yet call 'em terrible?! Dang, with a review like that I may have to look at US stoves next time!Terrible, I have a 900SF ranch with the stove downstairs. As a primary heater I hlwas unknowingly overfiring it to keep the.house warm and developed cracks in 3 years. This was the US 2500 from tractor supply.
Pretty good apparently! I don't think there are too many "bad" stoves out there anymore. Just some "better" than others. Some work good for most people (NC30) some are "prettier", some have better customer service, some have better warranty, some are known to last a lifetime, some have super long burn times. My personal opinion, you just need to do some research, pick the one that works for you and go for it...How are US stoves?
