ID this stove?

Well, the ad says Buck.....the damper handle looks like it says something, maybe Buck?

Other than the door, it sure looks like a Buck. In fact, the door is also like some of newer Buck stoves....

Can't you ask what the damper says on it?

Yeah I sent him an email requesting more ID information. All of the newer buck stoves i see have a curly cue looking deal where that name tag is. If it's a newer buck I'd be all over it. He says it's older in the ad though. That's what's confusing.

I'd say Buck it!

Well, it's older....but not as older as the original Buck Stoves.....

My guess is that it's 1982 or 1983 as opposed to the 1978-1981 that most other Bucks are......

awesome, do you know what model it is? And any information on the hardware? I'm guessing it's non catalytic?

I'm not sure of the model #, but to be it looks almost identical to the original line (2600,2700) except with the addition of a "lopi look" door - which they probably stuck on there when demand for glass doors got bigger in the early 80's.

In other words, no cat - no EPA, fan in the back of the stove, etc. - those fans and thermostats can be expensive if they are not working, so be careful.

He claims it doesn't have a thermostat, just an on/off switch for the blower. Is he just ignorant of the operation?

There is usually a 2 or three speed thermodisc which automatically controls Buck fans......he probably doesn't know it is there....and you won't know if it works without heating it up....

Or all the snapdiscs have been bypassed and it now just has an off/on switch, I see a lot of those once people get a price on replacing the snapdisc's.

If it looks like a buck, sounds like a buck its a buck.
