I understand Melody, it was expensive. You said what I needed to hear. We
tried to find a used woodstove that would work for us, but we needed a back
vented smaller model. I called several ads for woodstoves advertised in the
paper in the last year, it would seem that everybody and their brother had a
big mama bear stove for sale. One person had a VC that I began to get
excited about until I learned it was top vented.

Thanks for your kind thoughts.
