How Does a Buck Stove Work

Buck stoves use a catalytic combustor to enhance the energy efficiency of the stove and reduce the amount of smoke produced. The combustor burns particles a regular wood stove would expel through smoke. This more complete burning increases the temperature the stove reaches.

How do you turn on a Buck Stove?

Turn the Buck Stove gas log’s control knob counterclockwise until its arrow points at the “Pilot” function. Push the control knob in and wait 15 seconds before continuing.

Can you burn coal in a Buck Stove?

But can you burn coal in a wood burning stove? Coal cannot be burnt inside a wood burning stove. Coal needs a source of air from below the fire to burn efficiently, and so there needs to be a grate at the bottom of the stove which wood burning stoves won’t have.
