I see a few pop up on Craigslist from time to time, usually going between $500-$1500, which is cheaper than the nice new models, around $3000. Install shouldn't be too difficult other than the weight of the things! If you don't have an existing chimney though, install gets more complicated - have to cut through a wall/ceiling. I used to work at a camp in upstate NY with no electric - fun for the summer months, running kerosene lamps and such, but I don't think I could do it full time!

Yeah having electricity is my preference; I wouldn't go full time off the grid. More of a if "shit got real" backup plan...
