I just bought a Kuma stove (Sequoia). Never had heard of it, could hardly find anything about it. But I went out on a limb and took a chance with this stove. I bought a Buck 74 last year and it was rated to heat up to 2500 sq. feet. I just gave up and decided that my 12 foot ceilings and brick non insulated walls were too much for any stove.
I decided to just get another stove for the other chimney/room.
The room was smaller, so I put the new one in the original spot of the Buck 74. After an hour of heave ho switching the 2 stoves, I lit this kuma. Hoping for the best.
Holy crap. 2 hours later............ 30 degrees out. I am opening doors and letting the heat up to the other rooms. There isn't even coals in the bottom yet.
Was I doing something wrong with this Buck 74? Do I call Buck and tell them what I am saying to you? Do I sell the Buck immediately? Any ideas would be wonderful, but I honestly don't even want to go to the trouble of hooking this Buck up to the other Chimney after the performance difference.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance
