My Buck Model 81 is my favorite possession. Bought it late in 2012 from a local dealer after enjoying an antique Buck for over a decade. The stove is amazingit heats my entire 5000 sq ft house and provides the kind of winter comfort most folks dream about. The blower motor failed around 8 pm after 5 years and thousands of hours. I called Buck the next morning at 8:01 am, told them what happened and that my house was a bit chilly. They told me a replacement was $150 and said they would ship it as soon as I hung up. It showed up via UPS the next day at 2 pm and was in service by dinner. This company has amazing service and makes legendary stoves. Customer for life.

Buck Stove is now building Tiny Houses! This great brand name has begun a venture that they unveiled at our local Charlotte, North Carolina home show a few days ago. Because tiny houses are on wheels, they go anywhere an RV goes, but if you want to live in a particular location, say here in the greater Charlotte NC metro area, the zoning for the tiny house is unchartered territory. If you live within driving distance of Spruce Pine, NC 28777, visit the Buck Stove location to check out their tiny houses.

We bought two Buck Stove 94's last fall since we have a very large house to heat. One stove was set up on the feet kit as a free standing unit in the basement and the other was used as a fireplace insert with the surround kit. These are the non catalytic models since our retailer, Buis Appliances, recommended them for applications where firewood from our property was being used.
We had zero problems or issues, but we tend to read the documentation that comes with anything we buy, and both stoves were professionally installed.
Our house is native stone, and approximately 10,000 square feet with nine bedrooms, six bathrooms, three full kitchens, two fireplaces and two full basements with chimneys. Both of the Buck stoves were installed in the much bigger side of the house, as the other, and much smaller, side has an old fireplace insert (Ashley) in the living room and wood stove (Englander) in that basement. There really is no comparison but, in fairness, I would have to say that the older units do work pretty well, and that fact motivated us to seek out the best units we could find for the other side of the house.
We have 160 acres here, most of which is wooded, and it has never been logged since my family first purchased the property in 1916. That is to say that we have an endless supply of first rate hardwood oak, ash, hickory, locust, etc. I actually enjoy cutting and splitting the wood, especially since I have a log splitter that works wonderfully well.
Last year, we had cold weather electric bills approaching $800 a month, with the thermostats in the larger side of the house turned all the way down. Thus far this year, we haven't used electric heat at all in the larger side of the house with the Buck stoves, which is probably 6-7000 square feet. On the other side, probably 3-4000 square feet, we use the electric heat to supplement the insert/wood stove, with resultant total electric bills cut to less than half, keeping the house in the low 70's.
Primarily, we use the buck stove in the fireplace, as it rarely gets cold enough to use both Buck stoves. With temperatures in the low teens and below, we can use both, but it tends to be uncomfortably warm (80's) unless it is extremely cold and both units are properly damped down. The free standing Buck in the basement is a heat generating monster. It will never get cold enough that we will need electric heat on the Buck heated side of the house.
I cut firewood in 20 inch lengths, which seems optimal, although the Buck units will accept larger pieces. Once you have a good bed of coals, and damp the stove down, three pieces of seasoned ash or oak, about 5 inches in diameter (on a good bed of coals) will absolutely last through the night in the Buck units. This is MUCH better than the other units we have. If you don't know, DO NOT keep your stove cleaned out a good bed of ashes (maybe 2 inches) insulates the coals so the entire system burns MUCH longer.
Like all major purchases, we shopped this carefully. Buck has had a great name for a very long time and we liked the way they looked compared to other models, and the weight. When a stove weighs half again as much, you're obviously buying a couple of hundred pounds of something, not to mention the added "heat sink" effect. We also liked their local retailer MUCH more than anyone else we dealt with.
At some point, we intend to replace the other equipment we have with the Buck 94's, since that will allow us to heat the entire house without electric heat, and sleep thru the night without adding wood. That really is a much bigger deal than I suppose it sounds like. It really is a benefit to add wood a couple of times a day and forget about it. I wish this review allowed the publication of pictures if you could see this place, most people would know that these units will easily heat their house.
I hope this is helpful to you it is completely honest and unsolicited.

Second largest stove was installed.
Small baby size firebox.
Poor design on handle and latch.
Air take jets are of little use unless pushed in all the way.
Also the blower is right in your face when adding wood or stoking fire. Come on design team, really.
I had a detailed review written and this mobile device deleted it so this is the short version.
Basically if I could do it again I would choose another manufacturer. Sorry Buckstove.response / report this review
