Building A Fire - New Buck Corporation 85 Manual

1. Open the door.
2. Open the primary air controls located on the right and left sides of the stove under the
hearth. To open, push all the way in. To close, pull all the way out. Adjustments to airflow
may be made by positioning the handle anywhere in between.
3. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on the floor of the
firebox.
4. These models are not designed for the use of grates, andirons or other methods of
supporting the fuel.
5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of the newspaper.
6. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2-3" in diameter, on top of the kindling.
7. Light the newspaper in the front, close and latch the door. Don't leave the fire unattended at
this point. The draft system of the heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to
preheat the chimney to get the draft started. To do this, open the door and add newspaper to
the top rear of the wood. Light or let this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding the
door slightly cracked. Once the draft has started, close and lock the door. You are over
heating the unit if the chimney and/or connector glows red.
8. After embers and a coal bed have been established, load the heater with wood.
NOTE: THE FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL DOORS MUST REMAIN CLOSED
DURING OPERATION.
Your unit does not have a damper. You must use the primary air levers for your control of the
fire. To open, push the levers in, and to close, pull the levers out.
