Operating instructions

6. Check for smoke leaks around the doors.
7. Open the doors and install the firescreen. Check for smoke escaping from the front of the
stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. If a thorough
review of the installation instructions does not reveal the problem, contact your BUCK
STOVE dealer for assistance.
TIPS ON FIRE BURNING
ASH BED - Prolongs burn and helps the thermostat function properly.
For best result, the ash bed should be equal to the top ash bar.
GREEN WOOD vs. SEASONED WOOD - Green wood has
a high
moisture content, and therefore requires a hotter ignition temperature.
Seasoned wood
- cut at least one year before use - allows for a quicker,
prolonged burn and more complete combustion.
SPLIT WOOD vs. ROUND WOOD - Split wood burns easier and more
rapidly, whether it's seasoned or green. If used after starting a
fire,. it should
be packed tightly to achieve a longer burn. Round wood burns longer, but
requires more effort to start. Inserting a round piece over a bed of red coals
with the damper and drafts open will help it catch fire. Round wood should
be used
to accomplish an all-night burn.
FIRE STARTERS - Be
highly selective In choosing a quick fire starter
for use In your BUCK STOVE. NEVER START A STOVE FIRE WITH
GASOLINE, CHARCOAL LIGHTING FLUIDS,.
OR OTHER CHEMICALS
WHICH COULD EXPLODE. For best results, use Buck Lite™,. a safe,
quick fire starter available from your
Buck Stove dealer. Regular, non-
color newsprint may also be used.
