BeGreen said:Good to hear all the positive comments on these Bucks. It's nice to see that there are a lot of satisfied owners out there. I like that the 74 fills the middle niche between 2 and 3 cu ft stoves.
Unfortunately, they don't seem to have west coast representation so it's unlikely I'll see one soon. And, their website could use improvement, especially for docs, starting with posting the manuals online. It would help their sales. Otherwise folks will have a hard time making informed choices regarding clearances, hearth requirements etc.. I've put in a request for them to be put online.

I'm so glad to hear that you like your Bucks. My husband wants to buy one because they're made in the USA- he always wants to buy American when we can. (Good boy!) The price is just about the same as the Napoleon for us.
I also like the fact that it seems to have a higher square footage heating ability. Our house is 2300 sq ft. We have a finished basement but aren't sure if we can get any of the heat down there. I'd sure like to try though.
Does anyone have complaints about the fan being loud? That's about the only problem I've seen with them.

BeGreen, as far as their website is concerned I agree it could use some updating but you have to realize this is a family owned business in the Appilachian Mountains of western North Carolina (Spruce Pine N.C to be exact) so high class award winning web sites are not as important to them as producing a good product... However thaey do have PDF manual of most of their products online, the link is about half way down the left side of their page and its called "Stove Manuals"... Here is the link
