Buck Stove 27000

[Tripp1994]

Just purchased a house back in July that has a Buck Stove Insert. House was built in 1987. I believe the unit to be a 27000-B based upon my previous research. I had a chimney sweep and inspection done yesterday, and he could not deem the unit suitable for burning due to the data label not being visible for him to determine if the clearance was sufficient. He advised that my chimney was clean and did have a liner. I have included pictures of the unit showing the faceplate, fireplace, and stove insert. Wondering if this installation looks suitable and if it is in-fact a 27000 zero clearance model.

Yes, it's a Buck 27000.
By liner, did the sweep verify that the stove is connected to a stainless steel liner and not that the chimney had a clay liner?

Yes, he believes it to be stainless. The chimney itself is external and has exterior wooden siding.

He advised without being able to see the UL Listing on the chimney pipe he couldn't confirm that it was stainless. He did indicate that most are stainless.
