I'm thinking about buying an older regency wood stove. It's 100.00 bucks which fits in my budget. And, I'm starting to get cold here in Wa. State. I only have a pic to go by, until I actually go see it. Can you id it for me and give me some advice on buying it. I know it's a bit rusty, and I'm willing and able to clean it up, put new bricks in and sealer on the door if necessary. Just don't know much about wood stoves other than those three things.
thanks,

Kitty;) IMG_20131017_004022.jpg
 
without knowing the dimensions, I would guess and say you have an R6 there. The centered N/S push/pull air control is what I'm basing my guess on. Newer models (R1100) had the air control slide E/W. 100.00 isn't a bad deal. These stoves were designed to use the high dollar pumice firebricks, however I used regular firebricks and it worked fine.

Thank you so much. I didn't even notice the push pull knob in the center. I'm guessing that is for air flow control. I have the pipe that goes thru the roof already, but will need the pipe that goes from stove to ceiling. Is there specs on that part. I'd say it's about a 6 foot area. I have never used the pipe in the roof before, it is a good one tho. Do you think I should have someone clean it out to make sure there are no birds, ha,. Or can I just eye it. thanks again.
 
Absolutely, a good chimney sweep is worth his weight in gold. He/she can probably help with the stove install and inspect you current setup. You want 22 guage single walled black pipe with a slip connector to go from the stove to the ceiling. That stove will require ember protection only for your hearth and you definately want to make sure your clearances to combustibles are adequate. There should be a tag on the back with the clearances. There is a wealth of information on this site, so keep reading and welcome to the forum.
