SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

Your Buck Stove MODEL 85 meets EPA Phase II 1990 for a non-catalytic unit. It’s 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 the 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 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.

Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from
approximately 11,800 to 45,00 BTU/HR.

This heater is equipped with a standard room air blower.

For operation and use of these electrical assemblies, see instructions provided in this manual on
page 32.

SECTION II

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION

The Model 85 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with
Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in
this type of installation is to determine acceptability of fireplace and chimney for use with a
woodstove. Both construction and condition of fireplace are important considerations when
installing a woodstove. The chimney should extend at least 3' above roof and at least 2' above
any point of roof within 10'.

CAUTION

REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE. “DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.”

1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16" in front of
firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of firebox opening.

2. If there is not minimum hearth protection from front of firebox opening and front of ma-

sonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of hearth to protect combustible
materials. The floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material
or equivalent.(See Page 6.)

Page 5

MINIMUM CLEARANCES

FLOOR PROTECTION

Floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.

How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness

An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed
in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure:

1. Convert specification to R-value:
R-value is given—no conversion is needed.
K– factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
C-factor is given: R=1/C

2. Determine R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
Use the formula in step (1) to convert values not expressed as “R”
For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value.

3. If overall R-value of the system is greater than the R-value of the specified floor protector,
the alternate is acceptable.

Example:
The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a K-factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a
K-factor of 0.29.

Step (a): Use formula above to convert specification to R-value. R= 1/K x T = 1/0.84 x .75 =

0.893

Step (b): Calculate R of proposed system. 4” brick of C=1.25, therefore Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25
= 0.80 1/8” mineral board of K = 0.29, therefore Rmin.bd. =1/029 x0.125 = 0.431

Step (c): Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since proposed
system R is greater than required , the system is acceptable.
Definitions:
Thermal conductance = C = Btu = W
(hr)(ft²)(°F) (m²)(°K)

Thermal conductance = K = (Btu)(inch) = W = (Btu)
(hr)(ft²)(°f) (m)(°K) (hr)(ft)(°F)

Thermal conductance = R = (ft²)(hr)(°F) = (m²)(°K)
Btu W

Install in accordance with 24 CFR, Part 3280 (HUD).

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.

3. Open primary air control

Primary Air Control: The primary air intake draft controls are located at right and left bottom side of
hearth. It is operated by moving handle out to open (to allow air into firebox) or in (to control or close off) air
into firebox. (See Figure 4).

4. Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet if optional motor is being used. “Do not run power cord under unit

or in high traffic areas.”

5. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in stove. Light it and close door. Ensure that stove draws properly
through primary draft.

NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.”

6. Check for smoke leaks around door.

7. Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly
positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and
holding it near open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be
obtained.

If a thorough review of Troubleshooting Guide in rear of manual does not reveal problem, contact your dealer for
assistance

ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTORS MATERIAL

Floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.

With the floor protector or hearth extension material specified as one layer of 2" thick brick
with a K* factor of 5.0, you may use alternate materials as long as the K* factor (s) is calculated
as follows:
FORMULA:
Required thickness = (K of alternate material/K of millboard) X (thickness of millboard)

EXAMPLE:
An alternate inorganic non-combustible millboard with a K* of .9375 would require a
thickness as follows:
Required thickness = (.9375/5.0) x 2 in.
= 3/8 inch

K* FACTORS OF ALTERNATE MATERIALS

Material K Required Thickness

Ceroform 126 .21 1/8"
Limestone 8.0 3.2"
Concrete 8.0 3.2"
Sandstone 13.0 5.2"
Marble 18.0 7.2"

Hearth extension or floor protector thickness above four (4) inches are generally not acceptable
due to cost, floor load capacity and look. The alternate we recommend is using Ceroform No.
126 millboard 1/8" minimum and putting any type decorative brick or stone (any thickness) on
top of it.

* The K* factor represents thermal conductivity of a material and is time rate of heat flow
through a homogeneous material under steady-state conditions, through unit area, per unit
temperature gradient in the direction perpendicular to a surface.

FINAL CHECK

1. Recheck specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from firebox area.

3. Open primary air draft.

NOTE: Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet. Set switch to “Manual” and rheostat to
“High” position to ensure motor operates properly. Route cord to prevent damage to cord
insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep cord out of way of traffic to prevent damage
caused by tripping, etc.

4. Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in stove. Light it and close doors. Ensure that stove
draws properly through primary draft.

5. Check for smoke leaks around door.

CAUTION

Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates a
defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be pre­heated by lighting newspaper and holding it near open damper with a poker or fire tong.
Once chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of Troubleshooting Guide in rear of manual does not reveal problem,
contact your dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

The unit is painted with a specially formulated high temperature paint that cures during
first two or three firings. You may notice a slight smoking effect and an odor of burning
paint when you build first fires. This is normal and is not a cause for alarm. In some
cases, these fumes will activate a smoke alarm. Opening a window near unit will allow
these fumes to escape. DO NOT build a large, roaring fire until this curing is complete or
heater finish may be damaged.

FLOOR PROTECTION

Floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent.
With the floor protector or hearth extension material specified as one layer of 2" thick brick
with a K* factor of 5.0, you may use alternate materials as long as the K* factor (s) is calculated
as follows:
FORMULA: Required thickness = (K of alternate material/K of millboard) X (thickness
of millboard)

EXAMPLE: An alternate inorganic non-combustible millboard with a K* of .9375
would require a thickness as follows:
Required thickness = (.9375/5.0) x 2 in.
= 3/8 inch

K* FACTORS OF ALTERNATE MATERIALS

Material K Required Thickness

Ceroform 126 .21 1/8"
Limestone 8.0 3.2"
Concrete 8.0 3.2"
Sandstone 13.0 5.2"
Marble 18.0 7.2"

Hearth extension or floor protector thickness above four (4) inches are generally not acceptable
due to cost, floor load capacity, and look. The alternate we recommend is using Ceroform No.
126 millboard 1/8" minimum and putting any type decorative brick or stone (any thickness) on
top of it.

* The K* factor represents thermal conductivity of a material and is time rate of heat flow
through a homogeneous material under steady-state conditions, through unit area, per unit
temperature gradient in the direction perpendicular to a surface.

stove draws properly through primary draft.

5. Check for smoke leaks around the doors.

6. Open doors and check for smoke escaping from the front of stove. Smoking usually
indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft
can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near open damper with a poker or
fire tong. Once the chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.

If a thorough review of Troubleshooting Guide in rear of manual does not reveal the problem,
contact your dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

THE UNIT IS PAINTED WITH A SPECIALLY FORMULATED HIGH
TEMPERATURE PAINT THAT CURES DURING THE FIRST TWO OR THREE
FIRINGS. YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT SMOKING EFFECT AND AN ODOR OF
BURNING PAINT WHEN YOU BUILD THE FIRST FIRES. THIS IS NORMAL AND
IS NOT A CAUSE FOR ALARM. IN SOME CASES, THESE FUMES WILL
ACTIVATE A SMOKE ALARM. OPENING A WINDOW NEAR THE UNIT WILL
ALLOW THESE FUMES TO ESCAPE. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING FIRE
UNTIL THIS CURING PROCESS IS COMPLETE OR THE HEATER FINISH MAY
BE DAMAGED.

SECTION VI

WOOD HEATER SAFETY

Certain safety hazards are inherent in any wood heater installation. You should be aware of
these so that a safe and proper installation can be made.

1. FAULTY CHIMNEY: An older masonry chimney should be thoroughly checked to be sure
there are no holes or weak spots which could allow sparks or hot gases to escape.

2. HEAT CONDUCTION: Placing combustible materials too close to a heater or chimney can
be a fire hazard.

By keeping these particular hazards in mind as you install and use your room heater you can
ensure a safe, reliable installation.

Page 29

The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected once every two months. Any build­up of soot should be removed to prevent the risk of a chimney fire. To remove chimney or
chimney connector: Remove screws or fasteners. Remove pipe and clean with steel brush.
Replace chimney or chimney connector, and replace screws and/or fasteners.

CAUTION

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN
UP" A FIRE IN THE HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE STOVE WHEN IT IS IN USE. ALL FLUIDS OF THIS TYPE GIVE OFF
VOLATILE FUMES AND CAN AND WILL EXPLODE!! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE
WITH THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOME AND FAMILY.

CAUTION: Never remove ashes from heater with blower running.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.

The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on ground, well
away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.

CREOSOTE-FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL: When wood is burned slowly,
it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire.
As a result, creosote residue accumulates on flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.

SECTION VII

OPERATION

This section of manual is to help you get maximum efficiency and maximum smoke
(particulate) reduction from your heater. If you should experience any difficulty or
have any questions concerning your heater, contact your dealer for assistance.

The manufacturer recommends that for maximum performance burn dried natu­ral seasoned hard wood.

NOTE: Soft woods such as pine, create more creosote, clogging of chimney, and produce a less
efficient burn performance.

Build a fire for maximum efficiency. These models burn wood and extract heat so efficiently,

a large fire is not necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in home
being too warm for comfort.

The following steps will serve as a guide for operating your stove.

Page 30

BUILDING A FIRE

1. Open door.

2. Open primary air controls located on right and left sides of the stove under hearth. To
open, push all way in. To close, pull all way out. Adjustments to airflow may be made by
positioning handle anywhere in between.

3. Twist two pieces of non-colored newspaper into a roll and place them on floor of firebox.

NOTE: “Do not use grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on inner bottom of fire box.”

4. These models are not designed for use of grates, andirons or other methods of supporting
fuel.

5. Lay several pieces of dry kindling on top of newspaper.

6. Place three or four small pieces of firewood, 2-3" in diameter, on top of kindling.

NOTE: For best results place and burn wood from front to rear in stove.

7. Light newspaper in front, close and latch door. Don't leave fire unattended at this point.
The draft system of heater should start quickly. It may be necessary to preheat chimney to
get draft started. To do this, open door and add newspaper to top rear of wood. Light or let
this paper ignite and allow to burn while holding door slightly cracked. Once draft has
started, close and lock door. You are over heating tunit if chimney and/or connector glows
red.

8. After embers and a coal bed have been established, load heater with dried natural

seasoned hard wood.

NOTE: If blower is being used on the Model 85. Your stove is equipped with a
automatic thermostat. When stove gets hot enough, thermostat will
activate room air blower. Set fan speed according to desired heat output.

NOTE: When refueling or removing ashes turn “OFF” room air blower. Be sure to turn
room air blower back on when finished.

NOTE: Do not run power cord underneath heater, or in walk way or heavy traffic areas.

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 fire.
To open, push levers in, and to close, pull levers out.

Page 31

ROOM AIR BLOWER OPERATION

Your heater is equipped with a room air blower. For operation and wiring see Figure 14.

For your convenience your heater is equipped with a rheostat with which you are able to select
the air flow. The auto and manual switch will allow you to select the position at which the
thermostat will function.

Auto-position: After heater has warmed up and the Auto-Manual switch is placed in “Auto”
position and rheostat is in desired position, then fan will automatically come on. When stove
cools off the fan will automatically shut-off.

Manual position: You must turn room air blower on and off.

NOTE: Plug power cord into a 115V AC outlet. Set switch to “Manual” and rheostat to
“High” position to ensure motor operates properly. Route cord to prevent damage to cord
insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep cord out of way of traffic to prevent damage
caused by tripping, etc.
