I was looking for a 91 to put in my basement. In fact, I was all ready to buy a used one but it sold before I could get there. I ended up finding a 2nd Country Flame BBF instead.
 
Update......I got my break in fires done over the weekend and doing few fires now. I am good overnight burns with 2 or 3 splits. I can set the air @ about 1/8th to 1/4 open and it burns clean. When that mass of steel heats up it puts out some more heat! I have 3 splits in it now and it is cruising @ 1600 on the cat probe.
I called Buck this morning and asked if I would do any damage if I did not run the fan as it is not needed. He said it would not hurt it and that they did all the testing without the fan. I thought it might have to much heat build up in the air cavity and warp something.
I just looked at the temp again and it is up to 1800.....think I will open the bypass and cool it down a bit. The condor says that that is too hot.

Any thoughts on too hot?
