Hey Everyone...
A while back I posted about getting a Regency I3100 Insert. We were going to install it before winter but had some unplanned expenses come up and had to unfortunately put that off.
I recently found out that Buck Stoves are made about 20-ish miles from where I am living and I am researching them. I am looking a Model 80 ZC and a Model 91. Anyone have either of the models?
I have read many of the reviews here on the site and was wondering about how they last in the long term? It seems they are a pretty well made and most people who own them are pretty happy with them.
A few pertinent details... My house is around 2200 sq feet, single story ranch with a crawlspace [the crawlspace has a dehumidifier and a vapor barrier]. Built in 1972 with a logical design [bedrooms one side, central living space, kitchen & dining on the other side]. We have a outside wall fireplace that takes the chill off the room it is in [central living space], but primary heat is electric hot water baseboard heat. The chimney takes up the whole wall and is a bit of a "cold sink" for lack of better phrasing. We kept it pretty chilly this winter and the electric bills were still off the charts. We live in an area where we get a fair amount of cold, some snow & power outages.
So again...Buck Stoves, Model 80 ZC and a Model 91, pros & cons?
Thank you.
