Hi everyone, I have been in the market for a wood burning stove for some time now. So the hurdles have been the wife, and money. Over the years of dreaming, I fell in love with Jotul. I love it's beauty, and the way it calms me when I get a chance to see one. Sounds odd I know!
I have gotten an estimate, but that was without someone coming out to see my set up. I plan on placing it on my hearth, into the fireplace a bit. One issue is the mantle above, they are saying i need 30 inches of clearance from top of stove to bottom of mantle. Can I mount a heat shield at the bottom of the mantle to satisfy code? This will eliminate the mantle issue. One other concern is: my dealer doesn't have the best reputation and reviews, however if I want a jotul, I'm going to have to suck it up and go with him. I'm in NJ, I welcome any referrals or recommendations. I'm attempting to upload a copy of the estimate. I would love to hear your opinions.
Thanks everyone for any advice you can offer. I'm also open to other stoves, so fire away!
