Frequently Asked Questions
I have a catalytic combustor in my wood stove. Can I clean it & how often does this need to be done?After the first burning, the combustor should have a light gray powder-like appearance. Should the combustor’s cells become masked with fly-ash, use a paintbrush or soft-bristle brush and dust the combustor gently. Never use anything abrasive to clean the combustor. A vacuum cleaner may be used, but never use high-pressured air to blow the cells free of any build-up. Any cell blockage can be removed with the use of a pipe cleaner or cotton swab. Should the combustor become masked with soot or creosote, it is possible to burn the accumulation off by opening the by-pass and building a hot fire. Once the hot fire is created, close the by-pass halfway and burn for 30-60 minutes with the bypass in this position. Applied Ceramics suggests checking and cleaning the combustor before each burning season begins, if necessary. |
How do I know if my catalytic combustor needs to be replaced?The catalytic combustor has a six-year life expectancy when used according to the stove owner’s manual. Although, some combustors have operated with efficiency for as high as ten years, the combustor’s life is based on the stove operator, maintenance, fuels used, and the stove manufacturer’s design. |
I need a piece of glass for my double door stove and I don’t know what model it is.The double door glass kit fits the Models 26000 Old Buck (Little), 27000 Old Buck (Regular), and 28000 Old Buck (Big) and consists of the following: 2 pieces of 6 ½” x 9” glass and 2 gaskets for the glass. |
My glass has a black film on it. How can I clean it?You can clean your glass by using an oven cleaner and paper towels or razor blade. You can also make a solution of vinegar and water. |
I would like to replace the gasket around my door. What do I need?Depending on your model, you need door roping and/or ash bar wicking. You will also need a 2.8 oz. tube of high temperature silicone. |
I have an older Buck Stove and I would like to convert it to a freestanding stove. Is this possible?Yes, it is possible. You will need a stack and a pedestal to do so. First, you must determine which model you have. To do so, measure the rectangular opening on the top of the unit. If the opening is 13¾” x 3¼,” you have either a Model 26000 Old Buck (Little) or a Model 27000 Old Buck (Regular). Order part # FA 260421 for the stack and part # FA P4171B for the pedestal. If the opening measures 16” x 3¾,” then you have Model 28000 Old Buck (Big). Order part # FA 280421 for the stack and part # FA P4171B for the pedestal. |
I have a Buck Stove with a 3-speed thermostat. It only works on high. Can it be it 3 speeds again?After the first burning, the combustor should have a light gray powder-like appearance. Should the combustor’s cells become masked with fly-ash, use a paintbrush or soft-bristle brush and dust the combustor gently. Never use anything abrasive to clean the combustor. A vacuum cleaner may be used, but never use high-pressured air to blow the cells free of any build-up. Any cell blockage can be removed with the use of a pipe cleaner or cotton swab. Should the combustor become masked with soot or creosote, it is possible to burn the accumulation off by opening the by-pass and building a hot fire. Once the hot fire is created, close the by-pass halfway and burn for 30-60 minutes with the bypass in this position. Applied Ceramics suggests checking and cleaning the combustor before each burning season begins, if necessary. |
I have a wood stove and want to make it gas. Can I do this?No, we do not recommend doing this. If you changed from wood to gas, it would not only void the warranty of the gas log set, but you run the risk of damaging gas components in the log set itself and damaging your home. |
My wood stove has developed a crack in the top. Can this be repaired?Yes, it can be fixed. Buck Stove repairs units during the summer months. Please email or call us for further directions. |
Regarding gas valves, what is the difference between a Millivolt and Modulating unit?A Millivolt unit has the capability of using a remote control or wall thermostat to regulate the temperature setting. Whereas, the temperature of a modulating unit is controlled by changing the knob setting on the unit itself. |
Should I purchase a catalytic or non-catalytic unit?Normal rule is, for a primary heat source, choose the catalytic unit. For supplemental heating, choose the non-cat unit. Catalytic units have efficiency rating of 72%. There is more maintenance with a catalytic unit. At some point, depending on how you operate the unit and the type of wood burned, you will probably need to replace the catalyst. Non-catalytic units have an average efficiency rating of 63%, which is quite high for a wood burning unit. There is not a big price difference between catalytic and non-cat stoves. |
