Buck model 91 ( went 325 miles round trip to get )

I been wanting one for a while to replace my Appalichian 52 Bay. Label date made on the back of stove is marked Sept 2014. Here is a couple of pictures. Clear picture was made in Knoxville just before loading on trailor. Darker picture after I brought it in the house.

craigslist for twelve hundred.The owner was moving and not taking it with him. It sure looks to be in nice condition. None of the firebrick cracked .Fan runs smooth, dollor bill check around door good. I will propably drop the heat shield today and check the combuster. The only thing I dont like is the owner had put something on top that has left a round spot stain on it. I might try to remove it but you want be able to see it because I will have as an insert. Fast how was the first year with your 91 ? Ive always like the buck stove. Use to have a 26000 model. Good little stove but had to keep feeding it. My son has the model 80 which I really
like and been looking for a good used one to come up for sale and now this 91 just happen to fall in place.

Nothing at all wrong with my 52 Bay. Very good stove. Get the long burn times. I've just heard so many good reviews about the model 91 and just couldn't pass up on this one. I had to go back and edit the manufactured date from April 2014 to Sept 2014. So its a few months newer. Yes Mellow we got our Appalachian 52 close to the same time. We passed along alot of info and you helped me alot. I'll keep you up on the 91 this winter. The 52 will stay covered up in the shop until the 91 moves in for good.

Haven't had a chance to do anything with my Buck 91 until today. After I pulled my other insert out I had Roxul stuffed up around the damper but this time around I wanted to put a blockoff plate in and pack it good with more Roxul. Got it sealed in now and now I was ready to put insert in. I come across the handyest thing to rent for raising it up on the hearth . This stove weighs in at 625 lbs and my hearth is 14 inchs high. I put some sheetmetal on top then slid the insert pretty easy in place. My son was going to help me with it tomorrrow but I couldn't wait. I just had to go ahead with it by myself. Anyway here is a couple of pictures of my work today. My wife really likes the way the insert comes out on the hearth 15 inchs. Work done and cant wait to try it out.

Its call fire barrier sealant. I was looking for something to seal around the edge just to fill in any cracks. I saw another blockoff plate like that on this site so just thought I would try mine that way. It dries into a hard rubber like seal.

Yea I've been use to the door handle on the left side for awhile. That large crock is always been on that heart and I keep a a small amount of wood in that. Right there I don't have to reach around the door to put wood in. My wife will find some type of mat she likes in front of the hearth. On the floor at the hearth the brick extends 18 inchs out so the stove is a pretty good distant from the floor. Now that you mentioned it I measured it and the bottom tip of the stove is 28 inchs from the wood floor.

Just thought I would drag up an old thread and let you know how its working. This is one fine stove. Burns great and enjoy the deep firebox. This a big plus for most of the time I load N/S . I didn't care for the reosat fan motor so I changed it out to a 3 speed. What a differance this made. Fan is so quite and no motor hum at all. In fact you cant hardly hear it running at all on low.
I never had any problems with my original fan but it was a little change I thought would be better.The 3 speed switch is mounted right where the reosat knob was. I have been wanting to do this for a few weeks. Just got a warm spell over the last few days so perfect time now. Cold weather comes back in the forcast after tomorrow.
