I tried that in Frankfort yesterday and they wouldn't do it. I may try a different store.

For what it's worth, I just texted him and he said he did it with the TSC in Shelbyville. I don't think that's to far from you is it?

I was just fixing to call them, the other store said they price match within a 25 mile radius and the Rural King is in Shelbyville.

Any luck with TSC and price matching the 1557m?

Naw, they wouldn't bite. I had been looking at a Drolet Tundra wood furnace as well and Menards put them on sale plus an 11% rebate so I bought one. Kind of hard to pass up for 1246.00 plus it comes with the filter box. I get wood for free so I'm OK with it. I prefer coal and I've been using coal to get decent burn times with my current stove but I'm going to try this route and see what happens. I appreciate your help with my questions.
