    Water in Attic When Burning

    Hi everyone, Last year I got a Regency 500 which I burn basically 24/7. I absolutely love it and am slowing building up my 3 year supply of wood. With that said, I have no intentions of not burning wood in the winter. However, something odd happens in my attic that is quite worrisome. When I...

    Chimney Smell - Toxic?

    I have been having a smoke smell in my house for a couple months or so. It had gotten very strong.

    One heat exchange flue not blowing

    I'm unsure where to start, but this is my first post on the forum because I am simply dumbfounded and have no where else to look.

    I'm a newbie with my Buck Stove 74. Before getting it, I read as much info as possible and watched lots of "how to" videos on starting my fire and using my stove. I've only had it for 2 weeks and I feel like I've come a long way since the first day. I think one mistake I may have been making...
