The Spring room insulation will only cost around $100. $45 for R19 batts and $45 for R21 perforated batts (for easy cutting), and $10 in...
Okay, so last Fall I created sub-flooring in the first section of the attic and put down two layers of insulation board that gave me an R-Value in...
You are getting a 3+ cu ft firebox (most of it is usable) steel cat stove. And you are coming from a 2.3-ish cu ft non-cat stove that worked well...
BTU, burn times, and heating capacity specs on stoves are marketing crap on 99% of the stoves available.
The cat version of the Dutchwest were good stoves from everything I've read from owners. The non-cat stoves were very hit or miss.
I burn pine during the shoulder season. Wife loves it because it is so light to move and lights really quick. I like it because I can get it cut,...
We did the same thing last fall. It made a HUGE difference.
Post some pics of the fireboard. Maybe it's not as bad as you think it is.

Large flat head screw driver and a rubber mallet should work. Careful. Cast iron hinges and bolts. They can crack if you get too ornery with them....
Take the door off, remove the firebricks, and that bastard becomes a LOT lighter. Remove the base if you need to. I could easily deadlift it and...
Just called the seller. Looks like tuneighty is stopping by this evening. If he doesn't grab it, it's mine.
Let me know if you don't grab it. Cuz I'll buy it in a heartbeat to replace the Defiant.
Well, that got dark.

I'm assuming you are in the northeastern portion of PA.
I have a few spare chimneys if you are looking for a place to put the IS... :)
Would this replace the gas stove or the Keystone? I'm doing a bunch of insulating the next 12 months. So, I held of on my BK search for the time...
For the most part, that is true here, as well. Everything shot up by $25-50 a cord. $250-275 is pretty common around here. But, people have a ton...
Long term, I'm thinking about doing a pellet add-on to my boiler. Right now wood, even delivered, is still the far cheaper solution.
