![]() Also note that the 81 while supposedly having a slightly smaller firebox yielded higher heating capacity in lab tests. The 81 can be loaded E/W with log up to a 18" and N/S up to 20" The body of the 81 is wider and slightly taller than the 74. The Buck brochure obtainable at shows the 74 can be loaded E/W with up to a 22" log and N/S with a 16" log. Note (23 * 15 * 11)/1728 = roughly 2.2 CF.įan is included and is rated at 165 CFM according to Buck rep.įirebox is 2.4 CF and firebox dimensions per Buck rep are 18 3/4" deep, 19 1/2" wide, 11 1/2" high (front) and 10 1/4" high (rear) ![]() Dimensions don't seem to add up to 2.6 CF even when using maximum height of 11". The firebox is advertised at 2.6 CF but according to a Buck representative, the firebox is 23" wide, 15" deep, 11" high at the front and 9 1/2" high at the back of the stove. The variable speed fan is a maximum of 85 CFM James, in researching the Buck stoves I have found there are a couple key differences between the model 74 and 81:įan is optional. I would buy this stove again it works very well! If need a dealer I can refer you to one? Very, very good price! I compared what I got to what is on line and I saved a large amount. So I take that as it will last a good long time! The blower works great is a bit loud but it works quite well! Have not had a problem with it and my dealer and friend said worry less and burn more. But the with a good load of dry wood I can keep it about 500 for 2-3hrs give or take. I fanally figured out that burning north south really extends burn times quite a bit! Exactly how much.not sure. The down stairs is the cats beach at 90 dgrees. we can easily get the entire upstairs to 71 with no problem, makes sense. I am no expert by no means! I find when we burn 24 hrs. ![]() We burn 8-10 hrs/day during the week and on the weekends we burn 24 hrs/day. It get the up stairs from 68-71 when it is quite cold. ranch that has the insert downstairs in basement. I have a 74 and dig it quite a bit! We have a 1600 sq.ft. ![]()
