I'd give it a go with a 6" pipe if I was using it on one of my taller chimneys.Agreed. And if the darn things had legs, I would be getting all twitchy right about now. (and uses a 6" flue to boot).

Looks like they miss-typed the size originally. It was listed as 4.2 and now it is 4.42.Hey the changed the size from when I looked at it the other day, it went from 4.2 to now its over 4.4 cuft.
One spot says 8" another says 6". Yeah, I have no idea which is right, but I would try running it with a 6" either way.It calls for a 6" - so shouldn't be a problem with typical (suggested) flue lengths.
Yeah - I was looking at the tech specs and it stated 6". Ain't no way I am pulling my 6" down to goto an 8".One spot says 8" another says 6". Yeah, I have no idea which is right, but I would try running it with a 6" either way.

Yes. I am pretty sure 8" will be the final spec once they have a proof reader comb through that site.The one burning/pictured sure *looks* to be 8". If it performs well with a 6" flue they should sell bunches.

Yes the specs call for 6" flue it could be double wall stove pipe in the pic perhaps? I agree 6" would help sell more stoves as the majority are 6" and I for one wouldn't want to replace my 6" liner..The one burning/pictured sure *looks* to be 8". If it performs well with a 6" flue they should sell bunches.

Funny. I just did the same thing.I just contacted a local Regency dealer. He didn't even have pricing yet so he's sourceing information. new thread forthcoming.
$2,200 for the F3100, which is a 2.9 cu ft stove with blower.Funny how a BK vs WS thread turns into a good thread about a totally different brand. How does Regency price their stoves? Pretty high typically?
The one I was at the other day had never heard of it. Of course, he also had a Magic Heat on the stove he was burning in the showroom.
Yeah, I called another Regency dealer that insisted that the larger the stove, the lower the efficiency, and equated it to going from a 2cu ft stove to a 4 cu ft stove is like going from a 4 cylinder car to a v12 in terms of gas mileage.LOL, Boy now there is a dealer I would feel comfortable taking advice from

That is just about the dumbest analogy I have heard!Yeah, I called another Regency dealer that insisted that the larger the stove, the lower the efficiency, and equated it to going from a 2cu ft stove to a 4 cu ft stove is like going from a 4 cylinder car to a v12 in terms of gas mileage.
Dealer comments like that just make me happier that I spent so much time here. If I ever need another stove, I know more than enough to make an educated purchase. Relying on the dealer to point you in the right direction seems to be an unwise move the majority of the time.That is just about the dumbest analogy I have heard!
