SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
Your Buck Stove 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 a secondary air which is mixed with primary air in
the unit's firebox. For peak performance we suggest the use of hard seasoned wood.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
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 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 30.

MASONRY INSERT INSTALLATION
The Model 81 may be installed using an all masonry fireplace built in accordance with the
Uniform Building Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The first step in
this type of installation is to determine the acceptability of the fireplace and chimney for use
with a woodstove. Both the construction and condition of the fireplace are important considerations when installing a woodstove. It is not necessary to direct connect this unit unless
installed in improper drawing fireplace or oversized flue. The chimney should extend at least
3' above the roof and at least 2' above any point of the roof within 10'.
CAUTION
REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND BLOCKAGE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR STOVE.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES
1. The hearth must be of masonry construction and must extend a minimum of 16” in front of
the firebox opening and a minimum of 8" to either side of the firebox opening.
2. If there is not minimum hearth protection from the front of the firebox opening and the
front of the masonry hearth, a floor protector must be used in front of the hearth to
protect combustible materials. The floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness noncombustible 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 the thermal conductivity of a material and is the 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.
POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
7
If you decide to install your own stove, there are several hand tools you may need to do the
job. If you do not already have them, they are readily available at most hardware stores.
Caulking gun
Large adjustable wrench (may not be needed)
Drop Cloths
Vacuum cleaner or whisk broom
Flashlight
1 tube of RTV silicone, Code 103 or 106, or high temperature rubber cement rated between
450o F. - 600o F.
7/32" drill bit and drill
Socket/Ratchet Set
Insulation (provided in trim kit package)
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
FIREPLACE
1. Locate furniture and other materials away from the front of the fireplace to allow free
access to the fireplace.
2. Cover the hearth and adjacent floor areas with the drop cloth to protect from soiling or
marring the surface.
3. Remove the existing fireplace damper plate.
4. Thoroughly clean the fireplace of ashes and soot.
5. If the fireplace has an ash dump or outside air provision, these must be sealed off with
metal or tightly packed non-combustible insulation to prevent this cold air from entering
the fireplace chamber.
CAUTION
CHECK THE CHIMNEY AND SMOKE CHAMBER FOR EXCESSIVE BUILDUP OF CREOSOTE OR SOOT. ALSO CHECK FOR OBSTRUCTIONS, SUCH AS BIRD'S NESTS. IF THE CHIMNEY IS EXCESSIVELY
DIRTY CLEAN IT, OR HAVE SOMEONE CLEAN IT PROFESSIONALLY BEFORE
INSTALLING OR USING THE ROOM HEATER.
Installation Procedure

Positioning the Heater
NOTE: It is not necessary to direct connect this unit unless installed in improper drawing
fireplace or oversized flue. It is recommended a chimney connector be installed from the
appliance flue collar to the first fireplace chimney section.
WARNING
WHEN POSITIONING THE HEATER, THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET!
1. The front of the damper opening must be positioned BEHIND the rear edge of the lintel to
ensure proper draft.
2. Center the heater in the fireplace opening.
Mounting the Trim Panels
After the unit is positioned, mark the mounting position of the trim panels as follows:
1. Set the side trim panels in place, flat against the face of the fireplace. Mark down the
inside edge of the trim panel to make a vertical reference line.
2. Set the top (long) trim panel in place on top of the unit. The panel should be flat against
the outside face of the fireplace, and standing vertically. Mark along the lower edge of the
trim panel with a pencil to make a reference line for mounting.
3. Slide the unit out of the fireplace far enough to work behind the trim panel reference lines.
4. Mount the side trim panels. (See Figure 2.)
a. Position the trim panel on the reference line.
b. Drill mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets to allow for adjustment in
and out if necessary.
c. Mount the trim panel using the self-tapping screws provided.
5. Place top panel back on reference mark. Take top trim panel mounting bracket supplied
with unit. Position bracket so it overlaps rear lip of top trim panel. Drill mounting holes in
top of stove using holes in bracket as guide. Tighten down screws.
6. Now, follow the installation procedures in the listed direct connect or positive connect kit
you are using and install the heater and connect kit in the fireplace.

7. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels are properly positioned and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If one of more of the panels is out of
position, slide the unit out and reset by loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in
the slot.
8. Reinstall the top trim panel by sliding the rear lip of the top trim panel underneath the front
lip of the mounting bracket already secured to top of unit.
NOTE: Mount the top trim panel so that it sits in front of the top of the side trim panels.
9. Obtain the brass trim kit provided with unit and slip over the top and sides of trim panels.
(Top ends of brass may need to be trimmed to fit.
10. If direct connect or positive connect kit is not used, follow instructions in steps 1-4c on previous page.
11. Mount top trim panel by drilling mounting holes in center of trim panel mounting brackets,
with top end side of top panel overlapping side panel.
12. Using insulation provided, peel and stick to back of panels overlapping fireplace dimensions
by 1" on each side and top. (See Figure 3.)
13. Next using high heat silicone or furnace cement run heavy bead of caulking around where
panels meet the stove. (See Figure 3.)
14. Slide the unit back into the fireplace. Check to be sure that the trim panels (and brass) are
properly positioned and lie flat against the front of the fireplace. If panels are out of position, slide the unit out and reset by loosening the mounting screws and repositioning in the
slot. With bar, lift stove in front. Place insulation across front and the surface of hearth or
bottom of fireplace, to make complete seal.
15. To check seal of panels, use candle flame and go around the entire area sealed by silicone
and insulation. If flame leans toward inside of fireplace, add additional insulation. This ensures an airtight seal.
Final Check
1. Recheck the specified clearances.
2. Remove all foreign material from the firebox area.
3. Open the primary air draft.
NOTE: Plug the power cord into a 115V AC outlet. Set switch to “Manual” and rheostat to
“High” position to ensure motor operates properly. Route the cord to prevent damage to the
cord insulation from heat and sharp objects. Keep the cord out of the way of traffic to prevent
damage caused by tripping, etc.
