Hello,
I just purchased a Buck 91 and started running it five days ago. So far the furnace has not turned on once and the temps are in the 29F to 40F range. I have a basement with two stories above it. The air seems to be moving well from the main living area to the upstairs where we sleep. I have several questions about the stove if anyone could help.
When I load the stove and get the wood burning nice and strong is it ok to close down the shot gun air and primary air controls all the way. My flame is very low but the temp stays around the 1,100 – 1,200 degree range.
How much wood is too much…can I pack this thing to the top?
What is the best way to clean the inside of the main window?
Should I run a strong fire with the damper open all the way, once a week, to burn out any buildup in my exhaust pipe?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
flyboy
