I may have mentioned that Fred and I are updating our household heating. The result of that is we will now have a flue available for a wood stove in our basement, which is what we've always preferred, but couldn't do because we didn't have access to the chimney. Therefore, we bought a
very nice Hearthstone Santa Fe direct-vent gas stove we'd now like to sell or switch for a reliable used wood stove.

We bought the Hearthstone in 2005, but we used it only briefly to heat our basement area, and after Fred moved his "office" upstairs, it has not been used. We enjoyed it very much at first, watching the flame around the logs and feeling the warmth, but for the last several years it has sat idle, under-used and under-appreciated.

It has blue enamel finish with gray soapstone top and sides, comes with vent kit, pipe, thermostat and manual, ready to install - even the packet of glass cleaner that came with it when we bought it is still intact. It is in excellent condition with no dings or scratches and would look great in your living room or family room at home or at your cottage. The price, with everything above included is $1200, or if you have a wood stove to swap, get in touch and we'll work something out.

I'll be glad to send details of dimensions, installation requirements, etc., to anyone interested. E-mail me or call us at 802-563-2381.
