Is an older Englander 24G wood burning stove worth refurbishing the fire box? I included pictures with this post.
The stove was installed when I purchased my house and put out great heat. It was installed in the basement and hooked up to the house duct work. It easily heated the basement and two story house. However, I had to have it uninstalled and placed in the garage due to improper surrounding material and clearances. I only used it three times. Now, I am remodeling the basement and am considering having this stove reinstalled. However, the chimney inspection company is dissuading me from having this stove refurbished and reinstalled. They want me to purchase a pellet stove or fireplace insert from them; so, I do not trust their opinion.
If it is not good enough for household installation, would it be good / safe for a work shop? How about an outdoor camp area for warmth and food heating?
Also, do you think there is a market for this type stove? If so, what would be a fair price?
Any advice and opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
