Folks could maybe understand more if you describe your wood. What kind of wood is this? When was it cut to firewood length? When was it split? How was it stacked? How long was it stacked?
It is very possible there could be a huge difference in those 2 stoves but I would not yet call the Buck a lemon.
How could wood be a factor? Both are new, EPA stoves and the Kuma is a cat stove with the Kuma performing better.
