Hello! I have been burning this for about a week now and wonder if I need to be filling it up all the way and letting it go. Once I have a bed of coals I put a couple medium sized logs on there. Should I put more?
should I be filling up this model 21 all the way?

Like any stove, it depends on how much heat you need. In addition, some stoves have trouble kicking off your secondary combustion on too small of a load.
On my 21 I would load as full as possible. Bucking your wood short and loading NS (the ends facing the front and back) worked well for me. Make sure you have a good sealing door gasket and load it on up. With a fully loaded buck 21 you will get a great secondary light show for a couple hours. I would heat about 4-5 hours on a load if I did it well. I have gotten a bit longer but nothing to brag about.. Great little stove, my parents now theirs.
