Good job. We have one also . How long does yours burn I know some people that have one and swear by it and others swear at it .Seems like we are adding a log every 3 or 4 hours . Unlike the ads say 9 hours burn time .
@zzz1249 I think your burn time will depend on where you set the front and back air intakes. I keep both at their max open settings, so our wood burns fast with a nice bright flame (and the glass stays cleaner). So a log only lasts 30-60 minutes. You can make the wood last longer by cutting the air, but then it's not much fun to watch (just a charcoal glow, no flames).
@zzz1249 I think the "9 hours" claim is for a full load of wood on a medium-low air setting, not just one log. We're really happy with the performance of this woodstove. We get a lot of heat from each log, and the big window lets us enjoy the flames.
It is close, but it's an inch farther from the wall than the manual recommended. (I was very careful!!!) This model has very close clearances thanks to its insulated construction.
I just installed my 3100 tonight! had a bit of a problem with the inside pipe I replaced a 8 inch double wall with a single wall 6 inch. had to get a reducer from 8 to 6 was a bit of a headache.
$918 for the Simpson DuraVent stove pipe, chimney pipe and connectors (bought online through the VentingPipe web site) and $1800 for the woodstove from a local dealer (after much comparison shopping and negotiation) . Both purchases included discounts and delivery. I was extremely pleased with both sellers.

@WarcraftHermit That's right! This is a TV-free household, although we do spend an awful lot of time with our laptops. :-)

Did you use a single wall inside chimney inside?
Did you use any type of sealer on the seams?
great stove!

No, I used double wall stove pipe inside. I used no sealer inside, but I did use silicon sealant on the vertical chimney seam outside.
It IS a fabulous stove! I've been enjoying it almost every day after work. Great view of the fire, and awesome heat output. Enjoy yours!
