Had Joe rip out my old crapper zero clearance fireplace and put in a high efficiency EPA-rated wood stove (Kozy Heat Z42CD). I bought the stove from Ace Home & Leisure, but they wanted to charge me 6K for the demo, piping, install, stonework, and a new chase cover. Joe charged me half that, and did an excellent job. I'd highly recommend using him for stove installation. The only thing to be aware of is he is a firefighter (who else would you want installing your stove?), but he can be a bit slow to respond to phone calls and emails, and his schedule is a bit erratic at times. This was no problem for us though, and it was well worth the money we saved.
