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.

CHIMNEY

Ceiling Exits:

This heater is designed for connection to:
(1) Simpson Duravent (4) Metal Fab
(2) Security (5) Airjet
(3) Selkirk Metal Bestos (6) Jakes Evans
listed at 2100 deg. pipe and parts. Follow pipe manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
This room heater must be converted to (1) a chimney complying with the requirements for
Type HT chimneys in the standard for chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential, Type and Building
Heating Appliance, UL 103, or (2) a code approved masonry chimney with flue liner.

CAUTION

9

Special methods are required when passing through a wall or ceiling. See in­structions and building codes.

FLOOR PROTECTION:

If this heater is to be installed on a combustible floor, a non-combustible pad must be placed
below it to protect the floor from burning material from the heater. The pad must be 39" wide
and 40" deep. A UL tested floor protector with a 3/8" minimum thickness, non-combustible
material or equivalent, must be used.
The heater must be positioned on the pad so that there is a minimum of 16" from the front of the
door opening to the front of the pad, and a minimum of 6" measured horizontally from the sides
of the heater.

DETERMINING THE CHIMNEY LOCATION

A. CEILING EXIT (Using Single Wall Pipe and UL 103 HT type chimney system listed

with manufacturer in this section of manual.)

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in

the center of the flue exit (See Figure 6). (A small weight on a string will serve as a
plumb bob.) Mark the ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the
chimney.

2. After locating the center of the hole, install the ceiling support box, chimney flashing

and rain cap per the chimney manufacturer's instructions.

3. Now connect the stove and ceiling support box using #24 ga. minimum blued or

black steel connector pipe (DO NOT USE GALVANIZED PIPE). Connect each
section so the crimped end faces downward, and secure each section to each other
using at least three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets. Also use three (3) sheet metal
screws to fasten pipe to collar on heater. (See Figure 7.)

B. Wall Exit Into Metal Tee-Box

1. Mark the plumb line on the wall directly behind the center of the heater. (See Figure 7.)

NOTE: When using 24# ga. minimum blue or black steel pipe, maintain 18" between pipe
and ceiling.

2. Place the vertical portion of the heater pipe and the elbow in position and project a
point onto the plumb line level with the center of the elbow.

3. Measure up so there will be at least 1/4" rise per foot of horizontal connector pipe,
maintaining clearances to the ceiling as noted in Figure 8. This will give you the center of
the hole for the chimney penetration.

4. After locating the center of the penetration, install the tee-box and chimney as per the
chimney manufacturer's specifications.

5. Connect the chimney collar to the tee-box using #24 ga. minimum blued or black steel
connector pipe. DO NOT use galvanized pipe. Connect each section so the crimped end
faces downward, and secure each section to each other using three (3) sheet metal screws
or rivets.

PASS-THROUGH

11

CONNECTOR

Figure 8

C. Wall Exit Into Masonry (Using Single Wall Pipe)

1. Before connecting these units to a masonry chimney, determine that the masonry fireplace
wall pass-through connector thimble meets the NFPA-211 Code and local building codes
and is a minimum of 18" from the ceiling. If the connector thimble does not meet
these codes, the pass-through connector must be modified. (See Figure 9.)

CHIMNEY

Figure 9

Connectors may pass through walls or partitions constructed of combustible material if the

12

connector is:

(a) Either listed for wall pass-through or is routed through a device listed for wall pass-

through and is installed in accordance with the conditions of the listing.

(b) Selected or fabricated in accordance with the conditions and clearances as stated in

the NFPA-211 Code. Any unexposed metal that is used as part of a wall pass-through
system and is exposed to flue gases shall be constructed of stainless steel or other
equivalent material that will resist corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gases at
temperatures up to 1800o F.

In addition, a connector to a masonry chimney shall extend through the wall to the inner
face or liner but not beyond, and shall be firmly cemented to masonry.
EXCEPTION: A thimble may be used to facilitate removal of the chimney connector for
cleaning, in which case the thimble shall be permanently cemented in place with high­temperature cement.

2. Once the through-the-wall thimble codes are met, simply connect the chimney collar to
the wall pass-through connector using #24 ga. minimum, blued or black steel
connector pipe as follows:
(a) Maintain 1/4" rise per foot (horizontal length) from the appliance to the chimney.

(b) Connect each section so the crimped end faces downward.

(c) Secure each section to each other using at least three (3) sheet metal screws or rivets.

(d) Use three (3) sheet metal screws to fasten pipe to connector collar on heater.

D. Ceiling Exit-Close Clearance

1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the unit so that the weight is hanging in the
center of the flue exit (A small weight on a string will serve as a plumb bob) (See Figure

5). Mark the ceiling where the string is suspended to locate the center of the chimney
hole.

2. After locating the center of the hole, install the ceiling support box, chimney flashing
and rain cap.

FINAL CHECK

17

1. Recheck the specified clearances.

2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.

3. Open the primary air draft.

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

5. Plug the power cord into a 115 V ac outlet when using with optional motor.

6. Check for smoke leaks around the doors.

CAUTION

Open the doors and check for smoke escaping from the front of the 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 the 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 the Troubleshooting Guide in the rear of the 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 is complete or the heater finish may be damaged.

SECTION III

18

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.

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.

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 non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Ashes can ignite up to 72 hours after removal.

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 the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire.

SECTION IV

19

OPERATION

This section of the manual is to help you get the 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 seasoned hard wood.

Build a fire for maximum efficiency. This heater burns wood and extracts heat so efficiently,
a large fire is not necessary. A large fire not only wastes energy, it usually results in the home
being too warm for comfort.

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

BUILDING A FIRE

1. Open the door.

2. Open the primary air control under hearth, push in. To close pull all the way out.

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 DOOR MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING OPERATION.
