We recently purchased a Vermont Castings stove to help deter gas heating costs (and it really looks nice too). Code requires a zero-clearence chimney and I've only found a couple of sites that offer these and I am amazed at the costs. Current calculations put the price of the chimney almost in line with the stove.

Has anybody purchsed these types of chimneys or have any opinions regarding which ones are better bargains than the others. Or is there another alternative out there that I'm unaware of.

Thanks
