    Or there is a window above it or the electrical service box too close for clearance. However, not being able to see the whole room, I just wonder why the stove isn't closer to the exhaust instead clear over. Of course it may be set up like mine - to have the heat blowing toward the stairs. My setup probably looks odd to people also, but I have other things to consider than what it looks like to other people. My main concern is safety, and other than looking odd, the picture looks as if it is safe.

    That's for sure.
    Boring extra holes in the house sucks.

    This is the biggest reason I scoured up two identical stoves to the ones we are running just in case.

    If one is a fashion geek of stoves and likes the latest model styles, you could wind up with a house that looks like Swiss cheese. :whistle:

    lol. Exactly, that, or someone said that this was THE way to install (maybe a teacher or lawyer or Sam's employee).......you know, he certainly does have the vertical rise that all you guys love to see.....

    I'm thinking about a stove for the basement and something like this would be perfect, even at his asking price if the pipe is included

    I dont get the whole Giada being hot thing. The face throws me off. The rest isnt bad. I guess a few beers could fix that.

    I agree. I watch a lot of food network and the cooking channel. She's annoying. Fake smile, a cheater, and she over pronounces prosciutto and any Italian food.


    OK, I got that of my chest.


    So, Jason845 , let us know if you buy that stove.

    Looks like he wanted to use a hole from another furnace but needed to have the stove in a different location . I would have punched a new one .
