Congrats!
And pictures please of the new install - with fire- once it's all said and done.
We love those here!
so far so good. Much bigger stove but we love it.
Very nice!
Did you pay attention to the size of the non-combustible hearth you need to the front and side?
You should be able to get a can of stove paint for the pipe if you want to.

Yep we checked it before we purchased as the hearth was already installed. Made it by a few inches.
lucky you!
Enjoy!
Probably repeating some things said earlier, but do get wood split and stacked off the ground asap; some (pine, fir) wood needs 1 year drying, some (maple, cherry, ash) slightly more, and some (oak) may need 3 years drying. Of course this depends on the drying place (exposure to wind and sun, climate, etc.), split size etc.
But burning a modern stove works best with <20% moisture content wood.
Sawdust logs (without any additions) can work too mixed with a bit wetter wood.
