Purchase the correct gasket: Check your stove's manual to determine the proper size and type of gasket needed. For example, some models require a ¾-inch gasket rope.

Remove the old gasket: With the stove turned off and completely cool, carefully remove the worn-out gasket from the door groove.

Clean the groove: Remove any residue or old adhesive to ensure a clean surface.

Apply adhesive: Use a high-temperature adhesive recommended for securing the new gasket in place.

Install the new gasket: Firmly press the new gasket into the groove, ensuring it is properly seated.

Allow to dry: Let the adhesive cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions before using the stove again.

For specific instructions, refer to your model’s manual or contact our customer service.

It is not recommended to convert a wood stove to gas. Stoves are specifically designed for a particular type of fuel, and conversion could compromise the safety and efficiency of the unit. Additionally, such modification may void the manufacturer's warranty and fail to meet current safety regulations. To ensure your safety and that of your home, it is best to purchase a stove specifically designed for the type of fuel you wish to use.

To ensure optimal performance of your Buck Stove, follow these recommendations:

Air control usage: When starting a fire, fully open the air control to allow efficient combustion. Once the fire is well established, adjust the air control as needed to maintain efficient burning and extend burn time.

Fuel type: Use dry, well-seasoned wood for cleaner and more efficient combustion. Wet or green wood produces more smoke and creosote, which can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of chimney fires.

Regular maintenance: Periodically clean out ashes and inspect both the stove and chimney for creosote buildup. Proper maintenance ensures safe and efficient operation.

For specific instructions on the operation and maintenance of your particular model, refer to the user manual provided with your stove.

Catalytic stoves: These stoves use a catalyst to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. However, they require more maintenance because the catalyst can degrade over time and needs to be replaced approximately every six years, depending on usage and the type of wood burned.

Non-catalytic stoves: These stoves do not use a catalyst and generally have slightly lower efficiency. They are easier to maintain since they do not require catalyst replacement.

Excessive smoke or unpleasant odors may indicate creosote buildup in the chimney or inefficient combustion. It is recommended to:

Inspection and cleaning: Check and clean the chimney and heat exchanger.

Wood check: Ensure you are using dry, well-seasoned wood.

Air adjustment: Properly control the airflow to maintain efficient combustion.
