    Don't know the clearance on the PDVC, But isn't that too close to the wall? Also looks like they vented it out the window. o_O

    The floor protector is a very nice touch.......to me, it looks like the hopper lid might have had burnback at some point too.

    That type of "install" the clearance is 4" to the wall. That really is crazy...

    Something might auto ignite with that setup. I'm just not sure it would be pellets inside the burn pot.

    My gut feeling is they hastily installed it to get a pic of it running and that was not its regular permanent location.

    But then again I have been drinking and am usually wrong about things

    Seems like a good clean up, a bit of paint, someone might have a good buy on a stove that will keep them out of the cold. Picture show it running so it must be at least in fair condition.

    I went on a Santa Fe service call like that 3 months ago. Pretty much an identical install but the stove was pretty much in a SUPER CLUTTERED DUNGEON and I'm not joking. A 3-4 tee on the back, and about 12' at around a 30 degree angle, then a 90 through a BASEMENT window, through the floor of a greenhouse (under the floor) and had a plastic DRYER vent for a cap on the outside.

    At least this Darwinism victim has an OAK lol

    I'll start bringing my digital camera, my cell phone takes terrible pics in dungeons lol

    I felt like I was in the movie Hostile that day, glad to make it out with all my organs and such. There was literally water dripping down the walls and a bunch of corroded marine batteries hooked up in the basement, thought my nipples were going to be hooked up to jumper cables if I was down there too long o_O

    Once an item is sold on CL, the seller can delete the original posting. The way this winter has been going, I'm sure the seller got tired of all the calls for the stove.
