hearth.com is a good site to frequent
Hearth.com has various subforums, much like the assortment on winnipesaukee.com. If you have questions on installation details, firewood, size of stove needed, etc, you'll have no problem finding answers there. It's a good place to supplement whatever information you fine here.
Installing a woodstove at this time of year makes me think that a related question you'll have is about where to get properly seasoned wood for the upcoming burning season. There is "seasoned" wood and then there is wood that actually has been seasoned properly (dried out). You'll learn that some species, such as oak, while good burners, need as much as two years under cover to dry out adequately, depending on split size, while others, such as ash, need less time. If you try to burn wood that was keeping green leaves up in the air this summer, you'll be turned off anything connected to woodburning rather quickly, and your neighbors will be wishing you had learned what "seasoned" really means.
