SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
Your New Buck Corp. Model 21 Cast Iron Insert/Townsend III is a non-catalytic unit designed
to meet the most stringent emissions standards without the use of a catalytic combustor. This
effect is achieved through the use of secondary air which is mixed with primary air in the unit’s
firebox. For peak performance, we suggest the use of hard seasoned wood.
The primary air, which is controlled by the user, burns the wood. Secondary air is admitted into
the firebox through the secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox. This secondary air burns
the impurities in the smoke released from the initial wood burning. The temperature necessary
for this combustion is maintained through the firebrick refractory. If any more technical
information is necessary, contact your local dealer.
This unit may also be used with an optional room air blower. To order the optional motor
assemblies you must specify the stove model number and give the following part number:
*Model 21 Cast Iron Insert /Townsend III Motor Assembly — MA T3714
CAUTION
5
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 IS COMPLETE OR THE HEATER FINISH MAY BE
DAMAGED.
The connector and/or chimney should be inspected at least once a month during the heating
season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
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.

4. Spread a thick blanket on the floor behind the heater to protect the floor. Next, tilt the
heater so that the back is on the drop blanket (See Figure 1). NOTE: The heater is heavy
and may require two (2) people to lift.
5. Carefully lay the heater on its back and remove the pallet from the bottom of the heater (See
Figure 1) to attach the bottom components.
6. Fasten each leg with the four (4) M8 x 1.25-20 mm bolts provide. Use a flat washer with
each bolt. Tighten bolts into threaded holes on the cast stove (body) housing. Next attach
