I really don't think that is an actual buck. It just doesn't look right for a buck. And regardless if there is no tag on it the clearances...
Yes that is what I mean. It should be 36. And yes most modern stoves have much lower clearances
Well if that brick is actually on the block that is good. But it doesn't look like you have 36" when measured from the stove to the wall next to...
It is probably an unlisted stove unless there is a listing tag on the back. If there is no tag you need 36" clearance to combustibles. And if...

And I am going by my years and years of experience as a chimney sweep and my father's almost 5 decades of experience doing the same. There is...
Using a power sweep correctly does a decent job many times. If that doesn't work stainless cables in a rotary cleaners in better. Sometimes it...
Ok guys I see some of you guys have a problem with me giving the op crap about their cleaning technique. And I commend them for cleaning their...
Or for a little bit more money you could pay a pro with a camera who knows what they are looking for to do a full inspection.
