Section I: Introduction - BuckMaster 18 Manual

YOUR CHIMNEY MUST BE CORRECTLY SIZED. A CHIMNEY THAT IS TOO SMALL
OR LARGE IN DIAMETER, OR TOO SHORT, CAN CAUSE YOUR STOVE TO SPILL
SMOKE WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.
Your Buck Stove is a non-catalytic unit designed to meet most stringent emissions standards
without use of a catalytic combustor. This effect is achieved through use of a secondary air
which is mixed with primary air in unit's firebox.
For peak performance, we suggest use of natural seasoned hard wood, loading wood
length way from front to rear.
NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney and produce a less
efficient burn performance.
You should not burn trash or garbage, artificial or paper logs, gift wrapping, treated or
painted wood or any type of coal or flammable fluids.
The primary air, which is controlled by user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into
firebox through secondary air tubes at top of the firebox. This secondary air burns
impurities in smoke released from initial wood burning. The temperature necessary for this
combustion is maintained through firebrick refractory. If any more technical information is
necessary contact your local dealer.
This heater is equipped with a standard room air blower. For operation and uses of these
electrical assemblies, see instructions provided in this manual on page 35.
