    Oh yeah, I know. It's just odd that the website says not sold at these stores, yet I saw one.
    I can use my store(s) to do a ship to home....no problem.
    I could have it in a week or two via that method.

    What state are you in Dave? There is a Englander 30 in Pa, that someone could get a good deal on?

    I'm thinkin' you meant the Ashford?:)
    I have an old Ashley, and it serves well for what it is.
    ETA: Here's another scenario my wife suggested......sell the Ashley to her sister, put the 30 in, then when I get the gooder stove, put the 30 in the shop.

    Well, if I find two Kings before you buy the 30, I'll sell you mine on the cheap.

    I looked at he Pittsburgh CL site, but didn't see one.
    I'll look again.
    I plan to call the 2 stores near-ish me for in store availability.
    It would be much quicker for me to go pick up.
    ETA: I made the assumption it would be on CL,......is it?

    I'd love to sell my Princess and get the Ashford. I'm trying to work through how to steal some money from myself to buy a new stove when the old one works perfectly fine. I'll let you know if I can work through those issues. :rofl: :lol:

    I would personally wait for a good deal on a used Princess. If you find one downstate and need someone to look at it I'm sure Jeff or myself could do that for you.

    Thanks rdust. How far are you willing to drive? I can reimburse some fuel cost, if it's not crazy. Gotta' have enough money for the stove, ya' know.:thumbs:
    I'll continue looking at CL, and who knows, maybe I'll find another BK for a grand.
    In the meantime, if the burns are controllable on the IS, and the intro price is good, it might make it's way onto my hearth.:popcorn:
    I plan to go back and look at all the IS threads and glean what I can, instead of just looking at the pictures.:D

    No idea on number of miles but anything around the southeastern area I can cover. I'm on craigslist daily right now,(looking for sleds) I'll add the Princess to my searches. :)

    If that comes in with a less than 2k price it would be near impossible for me to pass up at that price. I'd "find" the extra 500 to buy it.

    I was ready to go check out a Fireview the other day, but it's outta style.

    I'll even deliver, if I have room :thumbs:

    Rick, if you need to get rid of that Princess, let me know. If the cards fall right, we will be moving in the next year or so.

    Yeah, I'm getting some more details on the IS, and it's looking gooder all the time.
    The blog says an anticipated unveiling in June.
    By this fall, I can have enough to cover the IS if they have a good intro price.......the Sirocco/Ashford would be tough.
    Might be time for a phone call.:D

    I wish I could, but we're just downsizing. Probably end up in town. This winter has been trying on both of us, but especially her. When I was home every day it was different, but I don't see that changing any time soon.

    Twice this winter, I got shut down and had to spend an extra night out. I like my job and schedule. I am home a lot, I mean A LOT, but when I am gone, I'm gone. I can't run home at lunch or leave early when something goes wrong. There are no dads or brothers or helpful neighbors to call for help. I think about it all the time, and this winter has been the decision maker.

    On the bright side, I'll get to go stove shopping :thumbs:
